<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 2041413, member: 19165&quot;]The 1859 in the OP looks to be high enough grade that the appearance of it does not automatically indicate cleaned to me. The pictures aren&#039;t clear enough to make out hairlines. An in hand evaluation would be required. </p><p><br /></p><p>And the 1866 linked in the Legend Auction is beautiful. I normally go for a higher grade for my set, but the strongly prooflike fields and cameo contrast are highly attractive. The die polish is characteristic of these coins. That being said, with a grade of 62, there are clearly numerous marks on the coin (prooflike fields tend to show every mark, and light hairlines will appear much more severe than on a regular coin).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
