<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 2266450, member: 19165&quot;]I certainly don&#039;t try to be negative. I try to give an honest opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>My opinion is based on 20+ years in the hobby, and the experience and knowledge that comes with that. My opinion is based on viewing thousands of Ebay images, and comparing them to how the coin looks in hand (when I&#039;ve bought them). My opinion is based on taking thousands of images, with a number of techniques (I started with a scanner when I was young, graduated to a couple of point-and-shoots, and now have a DSLR). My opinion is based on thousands of posts and many years on this forum and the NGC boards. My opinion is based on seeing thousands of coins in hand at shows. I&#039;m not just giving you a random, off the cuff answer - I&#039;m giving you an answer based on experience. My experience says that when a scanned coin of that age looks like that, there is a very high probably that its been cleaned. As always, with better photos, or in hand, my opinion may be different.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
