<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 79085, member: 112&quot;]Many times a pic will show you, or perhaps I should say allow you to see things you missed with the naked eye or a loupe. Other times pics can make things appear to be there that are not. But when you have the coin in hand to compare with the pic - you can determine what the case may be.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also - while darker areas around the devices and protected areas <u>may</u> be a sign of cleaning, it is by no means definitive in and of itself. It is only an indication that should cause you to examine the coin closer and see if there other signs as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>If there are no other signs of cleaning, then odds are the coin has not been cleaned. For it is natural for a coin to tone more darkly in those same areas.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
