<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 104700, member: 112&quot;]I have to agree that I think the coin has seen circulation for I can think of no other way for there to be such a dirt buildup around the legends and date. And the lack of this dirt buildup in the prorected areas and recesses of the devices make me believe the coin has definitely been cleaned. But it has not been harshly cleaned. Whoever did it was quite good. It&#039;s possible this coin was conserved/cleaned by NCS.</p><p><br /></p><p>The group of light scratches next to the 1 and above the A in DOLLAR lead me to think that someone at some time tried to remove something from the surface of the coin. The L shaped scratch on the obverse behind Liberty&#039;s head, combined with those on the reverse could result in the coin being body bagged by the TPGs. But I will admit that I have seen some such coins slabbed while others were not. So in that regard it could go either way.</p><p><br /></p><p>As to the grade, I&#039;d have to revert back to the old ANACS style and say AU Details - Scratched.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
