There is a fine line between market acceptable and harshly cleaned (haha, get it?). US proof coinage of the mid-19th century often walks that line - most of the proof coins graded under 64 have light hairlines from cleaning (which was considered acceptable in its time). These coins will, of course, receive a deduction in grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am not seeing any immediate signs of cleaning on the coin in the OP - but given its age, I wouldn&#039;t be surprised, either.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
