<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mark_h, post: 125654, member: 3726&quot;]Actually the scan has been modified - I tweaked it to try to get it to show some of the detail.&nbsp; The coin is not as good as the picture you posted - the hair to the left of the ear is more worn and everything is worn smoother than what you posted - but when I use the normal scan you really can not see any detail at all(as a matter of fact the scanner wants to make it black and white).&nbsp; I do not have anything to put it into yet, so I do not want to take it out of the 2x2.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am not sure if it does have a little porisity - in good light it looks like rim damage.&nbsp; Iit is down to VG.&nbsp; But I think it is the second best large cent I have and in the sun light it looks great.&nbsp; The dealer talked with me and my dad about dipping and cleaning.&nbsp; He stated this coin was the original dark colors - he pulled out some coins that had been cleaned.&nbsp; Then he showed me come that had great details, but were cleaned and treated - a couple were really done really good and he did not expect me to catch them(basically he said you just have to look at them for a few years). Of course the prices reflected the coin treatment - he called these coins a harsh treatment of the coin.&nbsp; As for dipping he said if it was done right it would not hurt the coin, but when done wrong you damage the coin( like the ones he showed me).</p><p><br /></p><p>And the picture does help!&nbsp; But the best thing about mine - is I already have it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
