Popular Post Sandon Posted June 19 Popular Post Share Posted June 19 Unfortunately, it may not be possible to determine whether a coin has been "cleaned" just from photos. One has to look at the coin in hand in good light, from various angles. The second and third pieces do appear to have an unnatural shine, perhaps from being polished. I have a custom registry set that attempts to depict and describe different types of "cleaning" on various coins. See Characteristics of "Cleaned" Coins - Custom Set (collectors-society.com).

powermad5000 Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Very difficult to tell if a coin has been cleaned from photos. I have had to send a few coins back in the last year or so that I won in online auctions because the auction photo didn't show hairlines, but once I received the coin and was able to tilt it to the room lighting, the hairlines appeared. Your first Walker is questionable and an in hand assessment would be needed for that one. The other two, from the photos, definitely looked polished to me.
