[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 7414912, member: 105098"]the catch is the turning in my opinion, although I wouldn't do it like he does haahhaha!. Rotating it under light should highlight trouble spots with the reflectivity of the surface. As far as cleaning, that's a lot of toning and schmuts in the 8 and 9 what I'd expect to see around the stars in her hair and around other lettering also,,,, and between denticles, hard to believe it only collected right there on the coin in my opinion. Could be the lighting as to why it looks flat and grey So I'll reserve the opinion, but I don't think it was "harshly cleaned". I do suspect it was dipped and worked on though to clean it up, maybe a dip and q-tip clean up job, but the markings I think could be just that, some rub and contact marks, and it still falls into low mint state and grade out. Is this coin 1890-P VAM-1I?[/QUOTE]
