After taking a better look at the reverse, you can clearly make out the "cleaning" marks around the edge.http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?VISuperSize&item=280382193869 Look around the wreath and you can see the marks. the top, the west-north/west portion outside the wreath, and directly east of "E" in "DIME" on the edge show signs of the "clean" job. Seen these marks myself when I used to clean half-dollars with to much pressure. It always leaves those marks.
