<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mark_h, post: 931027, member: 3726&quot;]Not always easy even when you know what to look for.&nbsp; In this case the pictures and lighting highlight the cleaning.&nbsp; To me it looks like the hairlines cover the surface along with the halo effect around the devices.&nbsp; I would not be surprised if you looked at this coin in hand that you have to tilt it and twirl it while looking at it under a glass.&nbsp; To me the picture indicates a cleaning trying to show more details behind the wear.&nbsp; Plus go to heritage and look at some nice XF and AU coins. I think you will see the differences.</p><p>So I would personally net this one out at XF.&nbsp; There are several like this in my bust half collection - look at them through the dansco album they look fine. Pull them out, tilt them and look at the surface again - you will see the fine hairlines. Just my opinion, but a fair price for the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
