<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 26556312, member: 101855&quot;]It does not take much to get back a &quot;details&quot; grade on a $2.50 Indian. If someone scraped off a copper stain (caused by an improper mixing of the gold and copper) you will get &quot;cleaned&quot; even though it is only a small area on the coin. It happened to me on this 1911-D $2.50 Indian, which is the key date.</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought this one long ago, so I am still ahead of the game, but I would have been more ahead of the game if I had bought one without the spot. I thought that I was smart when I learned to spot bad ones. I bought this before slabbing existed. I avoided the counterfeit, but not the &quot;cleaning.&quot; The offending spot is to the right of the eagle&#039;s tail feathers. I&#039;ve seen worse get a straight grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1692271[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
