<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 132066, member: 4626&quot;]Well caught it was cleaned at least... not nearly an expert at these kind of things, lol.&nbsp; But looking at it more closely the scrathes are pretty obvious.&nbsp; Whoever cleaned it though at least had the sense to leave the details alone.&nbsp; Not sure how you&#039;d tell if the toning was natural or not.&nbsp; However the cleaning would account for the uneven toning, I can see places where whoever cleaned was trying to avoid the devices.&nbsp; Am guessing whoever did it assumed it would be OK to clean the fields but didn&#039;t want to mess with the devices.</p><p><br /></p><p>This looks like the kind of coin I often pick out if it would otherwise be too expensive... a coin that shows the details well but has problems that lower its value enough to be into my price range.&nbsp; See my thread about the bust half, lol... though when that particular coin received its damage I&#039;m not sure.&nbsp; From the wear it looks like the damage happened quite a long time ago and isn&#039;t recent damage caused byy an attempt to clean it.</p><p><br /></p><p>On this one... wish I could go back in time and get it before someone tried to clean it... but as it is, would still have to say the $7 paid was an amzing bargain.&nbsp; I&#039;m sure soemone who otherwise wouldn&#039;t even get to see an 1894 would be happy to own this one... if nothing else it&#039;s a great filler if you&#039;re trying to complete the series.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
