<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 3595681, member: 37839"]Thanks.. You will figure out pretty quickly which coins are cleaned. Get a blast white looking early date (even if it is fairly common) in an older series, and if it is raw like that, usually it is either cleaned, or overdipped so that its value is seriously diminished. There is a reason that one was a lot cheaper, and not in a holder, with a straight grade. LSQ series usually tone up with a grey patina, even if they are MS. To get that white look, either it was stored away by a collector in some air resistant storage, or it was cleaned or dipped. If you see luster diminished, that is a dead giveaway to a heavy dip, or cleaning.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
