<p>[QUOTE="mark_h, post: 799847, member: 3726"]Just my opinion and I am not an expert on cleaning and recoloring, but if you look on the obverse positions 9 to 12 you see a slight pinkish type color which to me indicates a cleaning and I am not positive about the recoloring. To me it is the smooth light brown coloring across the surface - not perfect, but not that bad. As for the grade I agree the reverse is slightly higher than the obverse - but you typically go with the lower of the two grades. To me the wear on the hair, the bust and the slight rim dings make it VF20. Still a nice coin and just my opinions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
