<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gopher29, post: 709070, member: 5379&quot;]Look for areas where the luster seems dulled or areas where there are clusters of light scratches that resemble abrasions from cleaning.&nbsp; Basically, it takes practice and experience.&nbsp; After you&#039;ve looked at hundreds of cleaned and uncleaned coins, and probably experimented with trying to clean a few coins from your own collection, you will develop an eye for spotting them.&nbsp; But, even then, sometimes it can be hard to tell.&nbsp; Especially if the coin in question was cleaned long ago and has since retoned or if the coin was only lightly cleaned to begin with.&nbsp; As for your coin, I&#039;m only speculating that it has been cleaned based on your pictures.&nbsp; Those photos you&#039;ve provided us with are not the best with which to grade by.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
