<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ksparrow, post: 696789, member: 7638&quot;]The first thing I noticed were the vertical parallel lines on the neck that to me indicated an abrasive cleaning. Doug&#039;s enlargements helped me see the horizontal lines on the jaw. Many raw key date coins on eBay have been cleaned (assuming they are genuine to begin with... always something to be concerned about, especially a 32-d Washie), even non-keys just because it was the thing to do to your coins until the last half century. It can be very hard to spot in photos, too, for instance this Barber, which I can assure you is a cleaned coin:&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t277/cks2007/Seated%20and%20Barber%20Halves/Barberhalf1911-sobv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
