<p>[QUOTE="joecoincollect, post: 2146269, member: 71338"]The reverse on the 1900 dime looks cleaned in the center field. Compare the center to that more natural strip of luster to the right outside the wreath. It's hard to see harsh cleaning though from the pics, so it might pass with a clean grade if it was lightly cleaned. I have an xf45 clean graded barber that has light cleaning, ie it doesn't have extensive hairlines and the abrasion isn't so deep. If it turns out in hand that it looks like it would not grade clean, I'd still be happy with it and put it in a capital holder. That's what I've done with a similar coin. A lot of noncollectors have praised its beauty, like I do when I stare at it. As for wear, I think it's most evident of the hair just above the forehead. It's not extensive but it's apparent, so it's probably a Au 53 or 55 depending on luster and such[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
