<p>[QUOTE=&quot;buddy16cat, post: 1464847, member: 37356&quot;]Is that so?&nbsp; One of the newer members here claimed that the coin was cleaned because something about surface dirt inside the grid but not on the grid on the reverse Eagle.&nbsp; Could this &quot;surface dirt&quot; just ware off from carrying the coin in someone&#039;s pocket.&nbsp; I am not sure about this, about the non-presents of surface dirt.&nbsp; I could see someone dipping it in acetone to remove dirt at one time sure.&nbsp; But if you are going to clean something, why leave it like this?&nbsp; It kind of looks like a turd.&nbsp; If you wanted to clean something shouldn&#039;t try to make it more attractive.&nbsp; I am also wondering too about these &quot;problem&quot; coins.&nbsp; Wouldn&#039;t &quot;problems&quot; be created just by circulating for long periods of time?&nbsp; Coins take a beating while in circulation, and unless it was something kept in a vault since its creation, I would expect some sort of &quot;problem&quot;.&nbsp; Of course I would not use nitric acid since it does have silver content&nbsp; but if all I could sell this for is melt, you know it would get sanded with sandpaper, a whole through the head, and struck with a hammer a few times first.&nbsp; My point is that it isn&#039;t the most attractive &quot;heavily cleaned&quot; coin I have.&nbsp; The cleaned one to the left below kind of looks nice I think:</p><p>&quot;Heavily cleaned grid&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp; Does anyone know what this person meant about this, the lack of surface dirt but dirt in the grid?&nbsp; Is this really a sign of heavy cleaning?&nbsp; I don&#039;t understand this.</p><p>[ATTACH]183462.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p>Cleaned to the left:</p><p>[ATTACH]183461.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>In my opinion, more attractive cleaned coin with even color:[ATTACH]183461.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
