Crack it out. Put it in a south facing window sill for 6-8 months (judicially flipping the coin over every week or so) and resubmit (if that floats your boat). Otherwise, congrats on picking up a 'so called' cleaned coin.........the Bain of true collectors the world over......... View attachment 1321566

[edit to add] I'd have pulled the trigger for the right price.

This was the last needed of the series in AU or higher to date by mint mark. This and the 1932 s are the only two bought graded, for authentication purposes. As such, I have long believed that any coin is cleaned unless grading confirms otherwise, which I am perfectly fine with to a point. This particular example, in hand, has a satin appearance but only at the right angle in the right light. My thoughts are that it was cleaned long ago at a time when that was an acceptable practice. That aside, the eye appeal is strong and was purchased well under market comparative to a straight graded example. So my question is, would you have bought this?

Who cares what they call it. If these pictures are a true representation, it looks dead. But if it's all you could afford, it's all you could afford. Some people collect diamonds, some people collect cut glass, because they can't afford diamonds. To each their own.
