<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ewomack, post: 25378090, member: 15588&quot;]Thanks for your thoughts, everyone. I agree with the general consensus that the coin was cleaned at some point. It&#039;s too bad, because if it hadn&#039;t it would be an extremely nice coin overall. The detail on it remains pretty strong. I bought it at a coin show in 2017 and it seemed really under priced. </p><p><br /></p><p>When I brought it to the dealer to buy it, he did a double take and seemed to look intently at the coin and the price. He almost seemed concerned. I was thinking &quot;ah, this coin was priced incorrectly.&quot; Then he suddenly smiled and said &quot;Oh! What a nice coin! The reverse is especially nice!&quot; and sold it to me at the displayed price. At that time, I had not fully educated myself on cleaned coins, so I wasn&#039;t absolutely sure why he let it go so cheaply. Well, now I know. </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s a nice coin, but I still consider it a &quot;problem coin&quot; and will likely part ways with it sometime in the near future (different people have different tolerances for &quot;problem coins&quot;). That said, I don&#039;t think I want to take the time and money to get it graded. I&#039;ll let someone else do that. Thanks again![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
