Message:: [QUOTE="Mark T, post: 871114, member: 20061"]Finally got around to looking closely at the 4 coins : These are my observations after readings Doug’s comments. Coin # 1 - I like the coin and can not see clear cut evidence of an obvious cleaning . I could see this coin in a F 15 or maybe F 20 holder based on the coins details depending on the graders mood for the day :-} Coin # 2 - I like this one as well although the reverse strike is very soft. Adjustments marks on this coin do not bother me as they are very common for this series. My guess is this coin looks great in hand and the Heritage pictures do not do the coin justice. Coin # 3 - To spotty for my taste although the grade based on details is correct. Coin # 4 -  This coin has the details of at least a F 12 but those hairlines from the old cleaning are very distracting and I would not buy this coin . Here is my 1795 FH dollar. The coin is smooth without the marks and dings that are often found on these in lower grades. The color is also a nice dove gray .This coin was purchased in an ICG VF 30 holder and sent to PCGS with a minimum grade of VF 20 for a cross.  I sent it to NGC first and it was reject at VF 20 , they offered a F 15 for the coin . So based on the coins Doug listed and my coin you can see how grading on these can be all over the map . I have not sent my FH to CAC , this is one of those coins I wont send through the mail so I have to wait until October to submitt it at Coin Fest .[/QUOTE]
