<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bqcoins, post: 985176, member: 5036&quot;]So you&#039;re saying because a coin may have a little detritus on it, it has been cleaned.&nbsp; While I don&#039;t doubt that most 200+ year old coins may have been cleaned at one time.&nbsp; I do not see any evidence of recent (last 50 years) cleaning or dipping on this coin, becasue A) the coin isn&#039;t pink (cleaned copper gets an ugly look when you have stripped away the patina) b) the coin has a little dirt and whatnot on it (why clean it if you&#039;re gonna leave that) and c) the fields are devoid of the little parallel scratches that come with cleaning a coin.&nbsp; I would say this is one of those coins that you want an experts opinion on as well as some varietal information.&nbsp; Depending on the variety of this half cent it could go way up in value if it was a rarer combination of dies or could stay around $200.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
