Also sorry if its not the best quality i had to make due with a web cam.

 

Absolutely impossible to grade anything from those images. And you might want to edit the title of your post - I think you meant 1878.

 

Way too blurry for me to tell. Try using a digital camera with a macro setting. TC

 

Yea how do i edit the title tho

you can't, but I can

 

Can't really tell anything from those photos.
I wouldn't even want to throw a grade out there, but I can say that coin, from the reverse photos does look like it has been polished.
Better photos would be needed to determine if it has been cleaned and the grade of the coin.

 

My digital camera isnt working

 

Can you scan it? TC

 

You can't.

Wait until you can get your camera to work, a webcam isn't the best thing to take pictures with, when determining the grade of a coin.

 

IT wasnt polished its just the angle of the light.

 

It looks like it was cleaned or wiped, but that is truly a guess based upon the "feel" of the coin in the images.

 

If you notice, there appears to be dirt or grime in and around the letters and the wreath, but the fields are bright white. Granted, these photos aren't too good, but that is usually an indication that the coin has been cleaned.

Has this been cleaned or polished?

Ok i took better quality pics this time with a digital camera, has this 1878 morgan 8TF been cleaned or polished if possible try and grade i know you probably cant but give a wild guess. It was graded by dealer as VF.

 

Click the picture to see it better.

 

both pics are too small to see anything even when clicked :/

 

The images are mighty tough to interpret. It still has a cleaned, wiped or polished "feel" to me, though again the images are tough to figure out.

 

Are you sure, like what makes u think?

 

I think they could be "whizzed" according to another members thread.

 

No, I'm not certain and this is at least partially due to the images. However, the piece seems to have glossy surfaces that are consistent with previously boinked coinage.

 

Does the redbook on coins cover cleaning and how to spot it?
