<p>[QUOTE=&quot;longshot, post: 3875865, member: 76266&quot;]I think some of you guys are being a bit hard on this coin. Probably based on what the first pics look like. But I have had similar effects on decent coins when trying to shoot through 2x2s. I&#039;ll agree it probably has seen some degree of cleaning at some point and the toning isnt very attractive. But it is a little better date and definitely worth more than melt. In spite of some of the comments, there does seem to be traces of luster in the crevices, not inconsistent with an XF40 grade. Yes, perhaps there is too much detail left for the amount of visible luster. I&#039;d need to see the coin in hand before condemning it as harshly as some here have done. I know we just have the photos to go by, but these remind me of some of my efforts where the pics look worse than the coin does in hand. Anyhow, aside from the surface issues and back to the rim dings,&nbsp; a circulated coin can get away with minor stuff, but I do think these would probably hurt this coin at a TPG, either details it or downgrade it.
