<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 116191, member: 112"]I would agree that the coin appears to have been cleaned at some time. But if it was a pocket piece as described that could also account for the look of being cleaned. I would not submit the coin for grading, in my opinion it would grade no higher than VF given the wear on the obverse. Besides that, any of the major grading companies would consider the coin as damaged due to the gouges on the obverse. All of them except ANACS would body bag the coin and not grade it at all. ANACS would slab it alright but they would place it in a problem coin holder.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
