<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2525062, member: 112&quot;]Jim ya need to realize that coins can get scratches like that without them having been harshly cleaned. I really don&#039;t know a good way to explain it you about how tell the difference other than to say it&#039;s a &quot;look&quot; kind of thing. Coins that have been harshly cleaned have a certain look, and coins that just have some scratches and hairlines on them also have a certain look. But those two &quot;looks&quot; are quite different. </p><p><br /></p><p>And the only way I know of to tell one from the other is experience. Once you&#039;ve looked at thousands and thousands of them, you KNOW what the two different looks are. With enough experience you even get to where you will recognize, at a glance, when a coin has merely been wiped. </p><p><br /></p><p>And make no mistake here, a coin that has been wiped is still a coin that has been harshly cleaned. But only to the least degree.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
