<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ewomack, post: 2978345, member: 15588&quot;]I have what looks in hand like a decent 1854 Seated Liberty 25¢, but the smudges around some of the raised areas give me pause. I originally thought about sending it in for grading, but if it would come back as cleaned then what&#039;s really the point? Here are long shots, below are some magnifications.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.getmilked.com/pics/1854LibObverse.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="http://www.getmilked.com/pics/1854LibReverse.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>I put the coin under a scope and I&#039;m guessing that those smudges are re-toning from a previous cleaning.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.getmilked.com/pics/1854Surface_01.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="http://www.getmilked.com/pics/1854Surface_02.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="http://www.getmilked.com/pics/1854Surface_03.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="http://www.getmilked.com/pics/1854Surface_04.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>I didn&#039;t pay much for this coin and I think I now know why. I still like it regardless, but I&#039;ll just keep it loose if it screams &quot;AUGH!!! I&#039;VE BEEN CLEANED!!!&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
