I can't say that it's been cleaned but it sure has what looks like a lot of rub to me.

A MS-70 CLEAN JOB?

[bsshog40]

Quite possibly. I know that MS70 just doesn't do good with copper and can sometimes leave a pinkish tint that I don't see. It's really hard for me to say.

[bajablu]

yup, ms70 will turn copper pink, blue. search the threads, youll find out about that. as to this 55 ddo, lots of rub, not to mention the hit on e of liberty, and the hit in front of lincolns face. pics are not good. funny angles and minipulated lighting???

[jesbroken]

Even if cleaned/whizzed/dipped the coin would still probably net MS60. Bobby, do you see a rub that would place it out of MS. I don't right off hand. I feel sure the color is off and maybe a fingerprint above the date, but the seller is only offering it as MS60. That should bring above $3K. Obviously quite a few are interested with 8 days still to go in the auction. We will just have to wait and see.

The Rub doesn't bother me at all for this coin. I would have been leary if it looked harshly cleaned, but this coin don't jump out at me like that. With what looks like a fingerprint you mentioned Jim, would be the reason for so much rub also. I think this coin may have been in the hands of an unknowing person of what they had. JMO

The image was taken with so much light.

I can't tell,

Sometimes you have to look past the coin and check out the backdrop..

It looked off to me so I hit the auto fix and this is what I got;

[James_OldeTowne]

It looks like a cleaned coin with AU or better details to me.

If it is cleaned will it get BBd?

[jman425]

I've bought a coin from them before. They tend to overgrade and exaggerate a bit. The CC dollar I bought had some prooflike qualities but was advertised as DMPL.

[PerryHall]

This particular issue has been heavily counterfeited and it's advisable to buy one in a top tier slab.

[CHABSENTIA]

I bought a Raw coin some time ago on EBAy but it was not from them.It as advertised as a DMPL. The coin did not looked cleaned etc but the photopgraphy made it appear toned.

 

I needed the slot and won it at a good price.

 

 

I sent the coin to NGC and it came back as a 1897 MS63 PL.
