<p>[QUOTE=&quot;findone, post: 2623987, member: 74077&quot;]So I recently came across a coin that I suspect has been cleaned.&nbsp; I&#039;d say dipped rather than rubbed with a cloth or a polish.&nbsp; I&#039;m referring to a 1916 s obv walker.&nbsp; I&#039;d grade it about a G4-G6 maybe a lil higher but not much.&nbsp; I just get the feeling it was cleaned at some point.&nbsp; I don&#039;t see any swirls or scratches under 10x mag, just normal wear, but it just doesn&#039;t have that &quot;dirty tarnished look&quot; covering the fields and little cracks as much as you might expect a 100 year old coin to have.&nbsp; This is hard to see in a picture.&nbsp; Anyway, in such a grade and supposing the coin had been &quot;dipped&quot; how much would it kill the value?&nbsp; Also what are the chances it&#039;ll quickly regain some of that tarnish.&nbsp; It was an eBay pickup with a good return policy.&nbsp; I&#039;d love to have the coin and I could be TOTALLY wrong, but I have that feeling it was cleaned.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
