<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 4674033, member: 101855&quot;]The sharpness grade is EF, but as I posted earlier, I think that it has been cleaned with a mild abrasvie at some point.</p><p><br /></p><p>This was done to a lot of these coins. They didn&#039;t circulated that much because by the early 1850s, they melted for more than a dollar. After the Civil War, the premium was even higher in terms of paper money. Since they didn&#039;t circulate, a lot of these coins, in their orgiinal skin, tend to be dark. That led to cleaning.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a Seated Dollar that NGC bounced back to me in body bag for &quot;artificial toning.&quot; I thought that this coin looked nice, but they didn&#039;t. I sold it to another dealer who was buying for a collector who was building a type set in a Dansco Album.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1151635[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1151636[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
