    I just received this 5 cent silver piece today. Unfortunately, it has corrosion not shown by the auctions blurry photos.

    Is this a cleaned, uncirculated coin?

    It seems that I can't buy anything without corrosion these days!

    I really like the coin otherwise.

    It was undoubtably unc at one time, but it definitely is not any more. Yes, it has been very harshly cleaned.

    Thanks Doug

    Well as long as it's already cleaned, it's not quite so evil to be thinking of taking a shot at the corrosion! :rolleyes:
