[QUOTE="jody526, post: 34785, member: 578"]Well, it isn't easy, when all you have to go on is a picture, but there are some things that make me think that this particular coin has been cleaned. It's well over 100 yrs. old, and circulated, and yet it appears to be an unnatural silver color, with no toning. There also seem to be a couple of dark spots, near some of the letters, that would indicate areas that were protected during the cleaning process. Again, pictures can be difficult to judge, and are no substitute for seeing the coin in hand.[/QUOTE]
