Au details questionable color or improperly cleaned

 

Ah gosh. I don't mind the cleaning so much but those carbon spots on that otherwise pretty lady are the killers for me. I agree with Koin on the no-grade.

 

Super nice strike. I think it's been cleaned and retoned.

 

I'm taking her in for a cancer screening.

 

Ah, she's still lovely. Take good care of her.

 

The spots kill it, a nice face lift will probably do her good.

 

I agree with both Eddie and Doug - it was a really nice strike as Carboni7z stated!

 

Hope it doesn't turn out she had Chinese DNA

 

Im not sure why you guys think it was cleaned.

 

I've heard that some forms of cleaning can turn copper a pinkish color.

High AU, low MS, looks perfect to me.

 

Is the coin already in a slab?

 

The spots aren't too good but I'm thinking MS62. I'm not as much as an expert as the rest of the crowd but I'm not seeing cleaning although it may be a good candidate to remove the age spots. Also, it doesn't look Chinese to me.

 

yes. NGC

 

The crop made me think so. I'll guess 63 or 64 if they did not question the color.

 

I don't think it has been cleaned...at least I don't see any evidence of it. I would call it MS63.

 

The colors

 

It Graded MS63 RB. Well Played you two.
