<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 408566, member: 112&quot;]Detecting harshly cleaned coins, and it is important to note that it is harshly cleaned coins that you need to worry about, can be one of the more difficult things to learn. It really requires experience more than anything else. But there are a few tell-tale signs to watch for. </p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps some of the most obvious are light scratches or fine lines on the coin, sometimes all over the coin, other times in just specific areas. Another would be traces of dirt and grime in the protected areas and none anywhere else. Still another would be a lack of luster on a coin that should have luster based on the amount of wear or lack of wear it has.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
