    It looks pretty good to me. If it was cleaned at one time it was not a harsh one.

    It has the look of an old cleaning to me.

    The coin looks like an O.K. VF-20 to me. However, I would not expect a bargain from this well-known and high-overhead seller.

    It's been cleaned in the past but it looks like it will grade VF-20.

    Not a bad looking coin but looks "washed out" from an old cleaning.

    If a picture wasn't going very well I'd put a puppy dog in it, always a mongrel, you know, never one of the full bred puppies. And then I'd put a bandage on its foot... I liked it when I did it, but now I'm sick of it.

    Old but very light cleaning. I wouldn't mind it for a type display, though.

    Could be original but more probably has had some sort of very light treatment at some time to remove dirt and grime.
