[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 3002169, member: 19165"]The bad news: this new coin has been cleaned, and is not original. The good news: it has a higher details grade than your first coin. Your first coin actually looks to probably be original, exhibiting the marks and problems that a well circulated coin has. Your new coin has more details, but appears to be cleaned in some manner. I don't like it, really. I'd prefer your old coin. I'd call your new coin VF Details, harshly cleaned. Your old coin would probably be G-4. In all honesty, I'd return the new coin and wait for a problem free, original, eye appealing coin in the grade you want. That might mean it costs more, but you can save while you wait to find the right coin. In the end, your collection will be better off with the nice coin that costs more rather than compromising on a cleaned/polished/problem coin.[/QUOTE]
