<p>[QUOTE=&quot;libertyseated, post: 210403, member: 8137&quot;]I think back at the 1899 I purchased with this coin and believe both were someones experiment in coin cleaning. The 1899 looked dipped and then put into a hot iron skillet to darken the coin somewhat. </p><p><br /></p><p>The 1897 still is a higher grade coin with the cleaning ( only a trace of hairlines in one or two spots ). I graded it as a &quot;Cleaned AU55&quot;.</p><p>Still the spot bug&#039;s me everytime I look at it. I may sell it to help fund a show I&#039;m attending in may.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for the input</p><p>Chuck[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
