On this coin, is it severely cleaned to the point of looking hammered... http://cgi.ebay.com/1924-Standing-L...ryZ11966QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem or do I need spend more time learning the difference? It looks terrible to me.
Possible metal detecting coin, could be salt water damage. Salt water will turn it black and then the cleaning will look like that.
i agree that it most likely was a metal detector find - possibly at a beach. clearly this coin is being offered for the collectors who can't stand having an empty slot in their folder or album but don't mind having one in their wallet -Steve
thank you. Appreciate the response. I am very appreciative for the advice and insight provided here as I venture into the ebay world of coin buying... Caveat Emptor. (sure hope I spelled that correctly.)
