[QUOTE="gbroke, post: 1639917, member: 22585"]For the reasons Travel mentioned. The overall appearance and glossy look just screams cleaning. Remember, a cleaning doesn't have to show hairlines or even swirl marks. I believe this coin has been over-dipped. If you think about it, a coin with that amount of wear would not be "shiny". Here are some examples of various degrees of circulated Barber dimes. Notice the overall look and lack of shine or luster. Which is what you would expect from a coin that has been in circulation.

Here is an example of the same cleaned coin taken with two different lighting positions. It's a big difference a few small lighting adjustments can make.
