<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Michael K, post: 2642845, member: 78298&quot;]He&#039;s not saying you cleaned it. But someone may have, if those are scratches that are from a harsh, improper cleaning.</p><p>You need to show both sides of the coin. There&#039;s no way to tell value without that. The reverse will say where this coin was minted. (Philly, New Orleans,&nbsp; San Francisco.) Which is important data when figuring value, because of the different mintage numbers of that year.</p><p>I find cleaning to be very common on old silver and copper. People cleaned their coins 100 years ago because they wanted them to be shiny and nice looking, not realizing they were damaging the surface.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
