<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mcrow24, post: 1463433, member: 38505&quot;]I&#039;m relatively new to collection coins but so far I&#039;ve figured out:</p><p><br /></p><p>#1- Look for scratches that run from one end of the coin to the other, it indicates cleaning with a rough material. </p><p>#2- Look for residue or grime in the deepest parts of the coin but nowhere else on the coin. Often a cleaned coin will look very shiny but if you look closely you&#039;ll see left over grime int he deepest parts.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would say looking at your coin above that it&#039;s not cleaned. It has scratches but they are not uniform or all in the same direct and seem to be just bag marks. I don&#039;t see left over grime and it&#039;s not toned (sometimes a result of using a cleaner on it).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
