<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2753239, member: 1892&quot;]The amount, and relative darkness, of the crud clinging to the tight areas of the coin when the rest of it is relatively &quot;clean.&quot; It&#039;s especially heavy around the date &amp; stars to each side. One set of pictures does not a definitive diagnosis make, but this is a red flag for cleaning even when hairlines can&#039;t be seen. The only way to achieve this look &quot;naturally&quot; is for the coin to get really, really dirty and then go back into circulation for long enough that finger handling wore most of the dirt away. That&#039;s unlikely in the real world. For me, I evaluate it as a cleaned coin until I see evidence to the contrary.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
