<p>[QUOTE="joecoincollect, post: 2143533, member: 71338"]This is a tough one, not only because of the pics. I assume it has been cleaned to some degree because the dark toning is missing on the entire bust and in some areas of the fields on both sides. What matters is how abrasive this was done, so I'd suggest looking closely at these cleaner areas and see if it's full of hairlines or not. If there are only a few patches as you stated, the. I think you have a good chance of it grading clean. I can't tell from the pics. I can imagine Anacs going either way (clean grade or not). I had a world coin that was not cleaned looking at all to the naked eye but came back improperly cleaned. Check the hair above forehead to see if there's wear and you'll know if it's unc or au. From what I can see, there's slight wear there, making it a high au but the lower eye appeal might bring it down to 50 or 53. If I didn't have any other good coins to send in, it might be worth it to send this to reach 5 coins. Whatever happens, I'm sure you'll learn some things[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
