I'm at AU 55 or 58. Nothing I see makes me feel the coin has been cleaned.
Just for the fun of it I posted this coin on the NGC and PCGS forums asking for opinions. Should be fun to see what folks say. This the post....
Yes, you are correct about the GSA bags. I did not even think of them as far as quarters go. I'm still with the OP coin thinking it was dipped at...
