<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikenoodle, post: 914328, member: 307&quot;]harshly was never a word that I used. The coin has clearly been cleaned. The center is fully clean, but if you look into the protected areas of this coin, you can see the dark, black toning that at one time (IMHO) was mottled and covered more of the obverse of this coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>look at the braid and where the ear would be. That is remnants of tone that are consistent with the rest of the coin. The fact that this coin is missing toning from that area. It is MHO that the coin has been cleaned to remove that toning.</p><p><br /></p><p>Details grades are IMHO for coins that the dipping is notable afterward and does not necessarily mean that the coin has been harshly cleaned, but that will also depend on one&#039;s definition of&nbsp; the term &quot;harshly cleaned&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
