[QUOTE="NorthKorea, post: 1272422, member: 29643"]I don't really think so. The coin would have been body-bagged as Environmental Damage before the "cleaning." It was completely covered in blue-green-white PVC residue. I agree that cleaning isn't recommended, but I wouldn't have done anything if I didn't believe the coin was only worth spot to begin with. :) As for the question about the focus ring, nope. It was taken with a point and shoot. I do have an SLR, but didn't see the point to taking it out, as I don't know how I'd capture the colours anyway. I actually find the coin kind of funny, since it almost looks the tone of the Sacagawea dollars after they've been circulated for a while, but the rim is clearly still a silver clad colour.[/QUOTE]
