[QUOTE="Speedy, post: 82096, member: 705"]Well I try to study coins for cleaning and sometimes its not easy but I think with this one it is...here are somethings I think of and see... #1 The place where this was found had sand and water....the coins I have gotten from sand and water looked cleaned as the water and the sand rubbed it (I would call that a cleaned coin)...also the sand and water make the coin some-what dirty...so you would clean it too look better....I don't see this one as too dirty so more than likely its been cleaned... #2...the hair lines I see on both sides #3 the coin is worn yet it doesn't show dirt from circulation.... #4 the color...it just looks like most of the cleaned gold coins I have looked at... #5...I think I see a little dirt around the stars...may be wrong but if the photo was close I think we would see it.... Again...I could be wrong...and I would be the first to say that...I say coins have been cleaned that my dealer says they haven't...just my two cents... Speedy[/QUOTE]
