hard to tell from the scan i would need the coin in hand to tell for sure

 

but i would guesstimate

 

weakly struck like they all are

 

is this coin have a d or s mintmark?

 

and with the nick and cleaned

 

net grade of vf/xf or thereabouts

i do not have the coin in hand at this point.

i just happened to catch it on e-bay with 19 seconds to go.

i really liked the way it looked.

i have several, but none this pretty.

how do you judge it has been cleaned?

i am not doubting your opinion, just wanting to learn.

do you think $45 was too much to pay for a coin such as this?

[michael]

scans are extremely deceiving it might be the scan

 

the scan makes the coin look washed out dipped/cleaned

 

it might be or might not

 

also you cant tell if the coin is lusterous or not

 

just hard to tell from scans after second thought i should have not commented on this coin from the scan

in person sight seen

 

if the coin is highly lusterous and is totally original then for me 45 dollars is within reason for this coin

besides the nick below the 2 of the date are there two very small micro nicks on the rim above the fourth star?? and this star is just behind libertys hair bun

This series is not know for being very lustrous, or for good strike. From the scan (who can tell from a scan), the coin does not look cleaned. The copper stains on the surface are pretty typical for this series.

 

Let us know what you think when you receive the coin.

[Hoot]

The scan makes the coin look like a nice original AU55 to me. As others say, hard to tell from a scan, so please let us know when it comes back!

Keep in mind that the coin is in one of those cardboard flips, and that the coin is covered by a thin sheet of cellophane-type material that will distort the "look" normally associated with cleaning or luster.

That is one great coin for sure, and I would have to guess a AU.

This coin may be XF on a good day. There's too much hair missing due to wear for it to be an AU. Agree w Old Trader re the copper spots; they're very common on Liberty Nickels. Actually, most Uncs and many PF Liberty Nickels I've seen have this coloring. The coin has a pleasing appearance.
