<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dimeguy, post: 7459265, member: 19855&quot;]I have been reading up on and looking at Walking Liberty Halves. I am attempting a &quot;best you can afford&quot; set and feel I am slightly overwhelmed, but in a good sense. In previous sets, I would learn adequately how to grade within a range, but I am finding this collection parameters will help me broaden my knowledge base a bit. Still, I feel hesitant with independently graded purchase looming.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am ready to purchase a G to VG Walker, but my question is, how to exactly tell if there has been cleaning on a circulated coin? I feel most coins from this time have been cleaned to some extent or another, correct? Furthermore, I feel if the coin looks &quot;bleached&quot; the coin would likely be cleaned compared to circulated toning, yes? Below I offer two Ebay links for comparison...</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Bleached&quot; example: </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/254944521001?hash=item3b5be0ab29:g:EG0AAOSwdu1gebPJ" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/254944521001?hash=item3b5be0ab29:g:EG0AAOSwdu1gebPJ" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/254944521001?hash=item3b5be0ab29:g:EG0AAOSwdu1gebPJ</a></p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Antiquated toned&quot; example:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/174737791825?hash=item28af2f1b51:g:Y6cAAOSwL9tgfL8F" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/174737791825?hash=item28af2f1b51:g:Y6cAAOSwL9tgfL8F" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/174737791825?hash=item28af2f1b51:g:Y6cAAOSwL9tgfL8F</a></p><p><br /></p><p>As always, thanks for the community for clarification and help.
