Hello everyone. I'm having trouble determining if a coin has an old cleaning to it or not. Any thoughts on this 1771 krajczar? Something looks off to me. Any help is appreciated, and how you came to the conclusion if it has been cleaned or not would be helpful. Thank you!
Doesn't look cleaned. It has a typical look that is common on billon and low purity silver coins. You get some of the silvery shine on the surface from metal flow, but as the coin wears you see the darker, grayer debased metal look. This is what's going on, basically just good ol' honest circulation.
