Message:: [QUOTE="JBlade00, post: 1419008, member: 37468"]Hi all, this is kind of a continuation of my other thread; <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t204387/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t204387/">http://www.cointalk.com/t204387/</a> I received a very expensive lot of coins from ebay and am worried that quite a few of them are "lightly" cleaned. A number of them have hairlines under a 10x loupe and this is supposed to be the best of the bunch. There are non-cleaned (at least I think) coins in really good condition but they aren't keys. I might need to get a dealer's opinion on some of these. Note that most of the hairlines follow the same "pathway" ie: on the entire coin, the lines are perfectly parallel to one another. Here's the front of the coin; [ATTACH]172664.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]172665.vB[/ATTACH] I tried to get two angles so you could see the lines most notably in the hair. The lines go in the same direction the entire way (even through the rim edge and date numbers) This almost makes me think it isn't cleaned? Now for the reverse; [ATTACH]172663.vB[/ATTACH] I don't know if you can see it but a few of the small crevices look scratched / cleaned to me. Though it is possible that it is natural. I don't know if you can see the bottom of the coin but there are lines going up again and they are off and on through most of the eagle, similar to the front. Note: The coin still does "cartwheels" in the light. There are a couple of other coins that I got that don't, but this one does. Also, please let me know what you think it might be graded through PCGS. Thanks![/QUOTE]
