<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2469744, member: 24314&quot;]This is one of the rare times I&#039;ll disagree with you.&nbsp; <span style="color: #00b3b3">All my opinion of course.</span> </p><p><br /></p><p>Paddy54 said: The coin has been cleaned <span style="color: #00b3b3">if true and I don&#039;t see it from the photo - still a straight grade.</span> you can tell by what is&nbsp; around&nbsp; the devices .<span style="color: #00b3b3">The stuff around the relief looks like dirt. </span>obv shows signs of damage <span style="color: #00b3b3">(?) </span>to the left of the date is a scratch <span style="color: #00b3b3">nothing to speak of </span>and the date has been scratched through&nbsp; the 1 8 &amp; 6. Looks as it went through a counting machine as to the damage .<span style="color: #00b3b3">Nope, that&#039;s strike characteristic.</span></p><p>Next there&#039;s&nbsp; excessive&nbsp; wear on the top of the shield the part called the chief. <span style="color: #00b3b3">Absolutely not, strike again </span>All of the leaves show wear. <span style="color: #00b3b3">Not much wear.&nbsp; Most of what you don&#039;t see is strike problem.</span>Both left and right curl arms show wear. The center Gules show excessive&nbsp; wear. <span style="color: #00b3b3">Nope, nope, and nope.</span></p><p>And since this is a series&nbsp; I do collect&nbsp; and have over 100 specimens,and varieties&nbsp;&nbsp; I can post better coins then this that have been cleaned&nbsp; also. And <u>just because a coin doesn&#039;t&nbsp; has hair lines it doesn&#039;t&nbsp; mean it hasn&#039;t&nbsp; been cleaned</u>.&nbsp; <span style="color: #00b3b3">Now this is true; however, the color of this coin appears natural.</span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
