[QUOTE="RonSanderson, post: 2618736, member: 77413"]I have had the same concerns about several ungraded coins. I hope they are OK. I read that they should all have cartwheel luster, yet there seem to be some coins that just lack that, and sometimes that's in combination with this glossy luster / toning. I find myself wondering whether that [I]always[/I] means they were cleaned, which is the conclusion usually leapt to. When I was collecting in the mid-60's, it was already a mantra to "Never Clean A Coin" and "Only touch it by the edges". So folks have been warned about cleaning for a long, long time. And someone putting aside coins like these would know that better than most. Here's something similar. Short of having it graded, I can only hope it's acceptable. In any case, I like it, and I hope you like your 31-S, too. I do. [ATTACH=full]574179[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]574180[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
