[QUOTE="eddiespin, post: 608917, member: 4920"]OK, you asked the questions, here are some of the answers... On that "cleaning," here's a pic of an 1872, do you mean cleaned like this one? Just asking. What about a grade on this one, too? Just inquisitive. On that "over," Jim, far as I can make out, it's an "over 9," not a "69." Here's a shot of the entire date, hopefully it's big enough for you more experienced folks to discriminate between the two varieties. On that cheek, that's no indent, scrape, bag hit, scratch, luster graze, or anything of that nature.

In fact, there are actually other areas like that on the coin, but much smaller. In any event, that's why I didn't ask what any of you thought of it.

Let me just add, then, there's not a mark or spot on this coin, it's clean as a whistle per 10X magnification. And that's the truth. I mean, as opposed to the 5 second look with the naked eye the TPGs would give it. Or did that change, is it 10 seconds now? ;)[/QUOTE]
