<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 319045, member: 4626&quot;]I&#039;m looking at the coin right now and can&#039;t tell what scratches you&#039;re referring to.&nbsp; There are almost none, and what few there are are very minor ones only in the field.&nbsp; I can only assume the pictures posted here make it look worse than it actually is?&nbsp; I don&#039;t know what method was used when the picture was taken; perhaps it was still in a flip or plastic case of some kind that was scratched that make it look like those scratches are actually on the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can see what you mean in the pictures.&nbsp; But what looks like several vertical scratches in the pictures, are not on the actual coin.&nbsp; I&#039;ve looked carefully, and can only assume those scratches must be on something that the coin was in at the time when the picture was taken.&nbsp; Other possibility is it&#039;s only a stock photo, but other than the non-existant scratces that picture looks exactly like the coin I have.</p><p><br /></p><p>If those scratches are your only basis for saying it&#039;s &quot;harshly cleaned,&quot; then I guess the coin isn&#039;t.&nbsp; Though I don&#039;t doubt it&#039;s been cleaned, just not harshly so.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, thanks for your opinions all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
