    VF-35. I don't know if it is just the reflection of the holder, but it looks like it took a bit of a cleaning.

    Usually the debris remaining around the devices is the giveaway, but other times, it just doesn't look rite. No real science to the latter part of that statement, just after a while, you will see it.

    VF details--was cleaned at one time or another. Basically worth about $45. If it were MS, you'd have a good date, but it isn't near MS.

    I always wondered what's all the thing to look for to tell if its cleaned so I know what to look for if you don't have time to explain it that's cool too just wondering

    Look for swirl marks in the fields, and a dull, lusterless surface--that indicates that the coin was cleaned or polished. In this case, it looks as if it were polished. Always look for hairline scratches and gouge marks, which indicate a harsh cleaning.
