<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 644276, member: 112&quot;]Harshly or improperly cleaned coins have a certain look to them, actually several different looks. Your coin has one of them. It appears to have been harshly cleaned and then re-toned in an effort to cover up the harsh cleaning. But if you know what to look for, the tell take signs can&#039;t be covered up. As I said, it requires a certain level of experience to see this in many cases. You are not alone in that it doesn&#039;t look to have harshly cleaned to you. Many others can&#039;t tell either.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Questionable color is an entirely different thing and has nothing to do with harsh/improper cleaning. They mean that they think the coin may have been artificially toned. Now they may be right or they may be wrong, they do not and cannot say unequivocably either way. So when they are unsure if the toning is natural or not - they say questionable color.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
