Hi Guys,

 

Thanks for your suggestions of the grading materials. Here is one of the coins I was wondering if it had been cleaned. Also, if you could give me an estimate of the grade it would be helpful to me.

 

Thanks,

Terry

Not only does it have a serious scratch across the obverse, but it also is covered with hairlines that might be from a wipe, an attempted cleaning or having been slid harshly across another surface.

Coin is VF-35 details; harshly cleaned and scratched. Market would knock this back to a VG or Fine for price.

 

That's ashame, it's a nice date to see!

can't believe someone didn't post this for you.

By the way, yes very harshly cleaned. Probably about an EF grade but worth closer to melt.

Thanks everyone. I am just trying to learn. Wanted to make sure I was seeing the right things.

 

Maybe I should have picked something without the large scratch for grading purposes. Oh I'll try it with something else later.

There is nothing wrong with trying to learn.
