<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 318154, member: 4626&quot;]These were pictures taken by the person who sold me the coin; not sure if they&#039;re scans or pictures, but the fact the coin&#039;s color matches what it looks like in hand suggest probably pictures (scans are great at picking up coin detail but bad at picking up color).&nbsp; Having the coin in hand it&#039;s definitely not whizzed as someone posted, but yes, it&#039;s probably been cleaned at some point.&nbsp; (Virtually all coins this old have been at some point.)&nbsp; Not harshly though and not in a way that caused significant damage, so that&#039;s fine with me.&nbsp; I&#039;m not rabidly &quot;anti-cleaned&quot; as long as the coin&#039;s not significantly damaged in the process.&nbsp; All the details are there, even where it&#039;s worn you can still see a hint of all the details, can just barely see the eagle&#039;s eye on the reverse, and &quot;Liberty&quot; is fully readable.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve never bought into the idea that a coin having been cleaned at some point makes it worthless... it should lower the value a bit, but as long as it hasn&#039;t done been harshly it shouldn&#039;t somehow make the coin valueless.&nbsp; Besides, almost all coins this old that were intentionally saved by a collector have been cleaned at some point so it&#039;s not like you can avoid getting a cleaned coin unless you can find one in mint state (usually beyond affordability for me lol...)</p><p><br /></p><p>Anywho I paid slightly less than EF money for this; seems fair since it&#039;s definitely EF with a little taken off the price for it having been cleaned.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
