<p>[QUOTE="Cloudsweeper99, post: 58867, member: 3011"]When I first saw the coin I thought it probably was cleaned because I never see Morgans that look like this. But I don't see any evidence that it was whizzed or cleaned with any abrasive. I don't know enough about cleaning to be able to identify a dipped coin. Would that produce a mirror finish? Maybe if I had better photos to compare this to a dipped coin I could figure it out. The coin looks a little different around the letters and stars in that the surface is still bright, but not mirror-like. I almost passed up the coin, but figured I'd better buy it "just in case." I don't see any die cracks or evidence of VAMS, but I'm probably not qualified for this anyway. The coin isn't particularly clean in the sense that it is dust or dirt free and it wasn't being stored properly. I don't know if that might contribute to the condition. I wish I could have scanned it better. The obverse scan is pretty good. The reverse didn't come out as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
