<p>[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 3435961, member: 101855"]The 1832 has been whizzed or something and then recolored. The giveaway is the mushy appearance on the obverse in the area around the face. These coins were just as sharply struck as their silver and gold counterparts and don’t have that sort of look. This one probably had EF sharpness before they worked on it. It may have had some corrosion on it, which would account for the work on the surfaces. </p><p><br /></p><p>The 1834 has been lightly wiped to make it look brighter. The base grade is VF-25[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
