<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tmoneyeagles, post: 4404026, member: 17557&quot;]In regards to the slider conversation, here is one of my favourite threads of all time related to the subject: <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-secret-to-collecting-key-dates-the-elusive-au64-slider.41621/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-secret-to-collecting-key-dates-the-elusive-au64-slider.41621/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-secret-to-collecting-key-dates-the-elusive-au64-slider.41621/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>In regards to the coin, teamwork makes the dream work, and AU55 is definitely the right call. Now as for if it has been cleaned--I&#039;m not sure if it matters. This series is notorious for deep gouges and excessive scratches (as has been alluded to by [USER=19165]@physics-fan3.14[/USER]), and I&#039;ve seen far worse examples in both PCGS and NGC holders. I don&#039;t think the markings on that coin change its value, and I&#039;m sure there are some collectors who would purchase that as a problem-free AU55 example.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think it&#039;s likely been cleaned, but am curious about one of your points [USER=19165]@physics-fan3.14[/USER]; if I had no knowledge of numismatics and was cleaning a coin, I think I&#039;d be moving my tool in more random directions than carefully in parallel, but then again when I was young my mother would get irate with me for not coloring inside the lines.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
