<p>[QUOTE="Tom B, post: 1584873, member: 11854"]I hadn't noticed the 1902 when I first looked at the images. That coin has also been boinked. The 1902 is an AU with somewhat glossy surfaces that are completely consistent with a previously cleaned and/or polished coin. It also has some bad scratches under the shield on the reverse. The 1904 may be okay. The 1906 shows hairlines in the fields especially in front of the portrait along with some residue, gunk, corrosion or other "stuff" in the lower lying areas of the devices on the obverse. This coin is also AU. The reverse is showing some telltale color that it has been cleaned and/or polished with a sulfur agent. The 1907 shows hairlines, is a lower end AU and has a complete lack of natural surfaces. This coin was worked on pretty hard. The 1908 has truly been abused worse than the others. It is far too glossy, has circulated fairly well and has no natural color at all. </p><p><br /></p><p>Please take the comments as they are meant; directed at the <i>coins </i> and not at you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
