<p>[QUOTE=&quot;foundinrolls, post: 152684, member: 4350&quot;]Hi,</p><p>I absolutely think the coin was cleaned before the auction.&nbsp; I think that the particular spot as mentioned in an early post was doctored.&nbsp; If it is not just the picture,&nbsp; You can see some very dark to black coloring on the very edge of the coin where the edge meets the rim between 2:00 and 3:00. (the pre-toned pics)</p><p><br /></p><p>I think that after the coin was put away, the tarnish crept back up on the area that had previously been cleaned.&nbsp; I don&#039;t believe it iwas due to a fingerprint as most of the time,&nbsp; the tarnish takes on the form of the print and looks like a fingerprint.&nbsp; It doesn&#039;t usually look like a big black spot.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think that a professional grader will body bag it because the cleaning was obvious and the tarnishing does not resemble a fingerprint.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bill[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
