I have this coin, a denarius of Trajano, i like It alot, but did It suffered improper cleaning or was ruined or its Just a Fine Coin? Most people o asked Said its Fine.
It doesn’t look bad. In fact, it looks quite decent. Since you capitalized the word “Fine” (indicating the grade), I will say that this coin appears better than a Fine. It is at least a VF (Very Fine), if not VF+ (gVF, or “good VF”). I’m not sure it’s quite XF (Extremely Fine), but it’s close. These Trajan denarii had wonderful high-relief portraits, and look at how much of Trajan’s hair details are still present on your coin. There’s nothing wrong with it, as far as I can tell. Enjoy it!
Looks like cabinet friction, the eye gets drawn to it since the protected areas are toned. Still a nice coin at a decent grade however.
