[QUOTE="Aslanmia, post: 401987, member: 11753"]Hey there, JBM... It really depends on the coin, but any coin that has visible and obvious wear but looks like it just came from the mint (ie. bright red copper, shiny luster on silver and clad), it's probably been cleaned. I haven't been at this long enough to tell if a coin has been dipped (in a mild acid solution, and is quite common), but whizzing can be detected by the telltale micro-scratch marks left by the rotary tool. The absolute best way to determine if your coin has been cleaned, is to take some good pics and post them here. There are a lot of knowledable folks here who would be more then willing to help![/QUOTE]
