<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1865King, post: 8051505, member: 103207&quot;]I don&#039;t think it will CAC because it&#039;s not an AU 58.&nbsp; I&#039;d call it at between a AU 50 and AU 55 no higher.&nbsp; As far as the hairlines virtually every coins has hairlines.&nbsp;&nbsp; I wish people would stop using the term hairlines as a catch all for any type of hairline.&nbsp; Same goes the term &quot;wipe&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp; Signs of a wipe are hairlines.&nbsp; However, with the coin in question from looking at the &quot;hairlines&quot; seen in the picture with all or most of the hairlines going in the same direction and can be seen on the fields and bust I say the coin has been cleaned or &quot;wiped&quot; in the past.&nbsp; It&#039;s still a nice coin but, I wouldn&#039;t spend the money sending it in to CAC.&nbsp; If it was graded AU 50 it might CAC.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Just another opinion on the term hairlines.&nbsp;&nbsp; A coin could easily be covered in hairlines and never been cleaned or wiped.&nbsp; Put a mint state coin in an empty pocket and leave it there as you go thru your day.&nbsp; Just the fact the coin was in your pocket all day you should expect it to be covered in hairlines but, it was never technically cleaned.&nbsp; I did an experiment this year using a common date large cent that would grade VF.&nbsp; I put it in my pants pocket and left it there for a few days.&nbsp; I looked at it a few times each day and after 3 days all the high points were red from the wear it got while in my pocket.&nbsp;&nbsp; Was it cleaned or wiped no but, if I was to send it in it would likely been given a details grade.&nbsp; However, it shouldn&#039;t have because it only showed signs of natural wear.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
