<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 1814667, member: 37839"]The OP's coin is harshly cleaned--meaning that it is not a dip issue, but a mechanical cleaning process. It has been polished, shined, buffed, whizzed, or cleaned with some other abrasive that leaves hairlines all over the obverse and reverse. A coin like that in a common date is worth melt, and it is tragic to see any coin treated like that--as Doc Camaro said, gentle dipping can enhance some coins--mechanical cleaning and wiping ALWAYS destroys the surface.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
