<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WalkingLiberty1212, post: 2028498, member: 72879&quot;]Thanks for all the advice everyone! I been looking at pictures of TPGs online of Improperly cleaned coins and comparing them to similar grades that are clean/problem free.</p><p><br /></p><p>The one thing that I wish I could know is what type of cleaning was done to the coin to make it improperly cleaned. Do the TPGs list that anywhere? Would be nice so I can kinda get an Idea for what type of Cleaning caused which issues. And of course pictures only go so far :/ to distinguish certain issues. I purchased a few walking liberty fifty cent pieces one which looked clean and I got for $7.50 (1943 S) and one 1943 which looks close to maybe an AU grade and paid $13.50 for that. Both prices include the shipping cost in the price. Below are the pictures and for the coin which I thought was possibly cleaned I left my possibly reasoning for why I thought so. If my insights are wrong any input would be appreciated. [ATTACH=full]368789[/ATTACH] </p><p>^Looking at the picture nothing stands out to me that it was cleaned. Will inspect further once in hand to see if I can notice anything that stand out. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]368790[/ATTACH] </p><p>^Does this coin looked cleaned? I am not sure if I am looking at it correctly but to me my gut says yes it is. The darkness in-between the 1943 number and also around the In God We Trust. Plus it looks like the coin was darker( for lack of knowledge of what the term is called) and it was Cleaned and it looks like dirt and grim was missed around the all the letters which spell Liberty. I am not sure if this is a correct analysis and if not I would like to get feedback of what others think and what I need to look at differently. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]368791[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks again for the help everyone. Appreciate you taking time to help out a rookie.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
