<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ddddd, post: 3630518, member: 22377&quot;]I used the seller’s photo for the Barber; in hand, the cleaning is more obvious and I think your theory could be what happened (someone wanted to get rid of the dirt that had accumulated over the years).</p><p><br /></p><p>As for conservation from the slabbing services, it can be expensive and is usually not worth the money (especially if the coin isn’t worth at least several hundred dollars).</p><p><br /></p><p>My thought is that this coin might have even been cleaned a while back or by a previous owner (and not the person who sent it in for grading). It’s also an example of a coin that really didn’t need to be slabbed since the cost of grading didn’t add much to the overall value.</p><p><br /></p><p>And best of luck on your 20 cent piece! Those are fun coins and if you’re patient an example under $100 is very attainable (in VF or XF details; a problem free VF/XF would run slightly above $100).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
