IMHO, if it was cleaned it was long ago, and not harshly so, as I see no evidence of it other than the lighter-than-expected color. The "white" areas do concern me -- as seen near the date and arrows -- this could be evidence of cleaning or corrosion/environmental damage.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is a coin I would not be comfortable buying from the photos alone -- I'd have to see it in-hand.</p><p><br /></p><p>I grade the coin VF 38 and reserve comment as to its originality...Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

This is a coin I would not be comfortable buying from the photos alone -- I'd have to see it in-hand. I grade the coin VF 38 and reserve comment as to its originality...Mike[/QUOTE]
