<p>[QUOTE=&quot;40_mila_kokkina, post: 1955558, member: 59115&quot;]The coin has a somewhat polished look throughout and also the color looks very different (a dull silvery white) on the highest points of the bear. Interestingly the other Bay Bridge specimen I showed recently looks a lot more obvious than this one in that it was cleaned. I really had to carefully analyze this coin to know what I should do. I did a small submission to SEGS and this time I rejected two specimens given their questionable looks.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is an example (in my opinion) of a problem free gradable AU specimen that I did submit: [ATTACH=full]343849[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]343848[/ATTACH]&nbsp; It would be interesting if this was a cleaned coin too however based on its looks I would more bet against it than for it being the case. I would estimate this one comes back AU-53, maybe AU-55 if the graders are in a good mood that day. Although this is a highly tarnished specimen, it doesn&#039;t have the &quot;washed out&quot; look of the other coin I pictured at the beginning of this posting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
