I have 4 vouchers that need to be used soon. I stumbled across this LC and like it but want some opinions as to it being cleaned or not before I buy it. To me it looks a little glossy for the XF45 grade I give it. Help me out with your opinions as to grade and cleaning. Thanks.

    I think a problem-free (market acceptable) grade of EF45 would be reasonable.

    It's an attractive EF that should straight grade. If was cleaned in the distant past, it's irrelevant now. That's a nice looking large cent.

    That looks like an acceptable cent to me.... Could have had a light cleaning in the distant past. Cheers, RickO

    The coin maybe was wash at one point in the life not clean by the meaning. Has the normal color of the alloy for the period today.

    If it has been cleaned, it would not bother me. The coin as great appeal for a late date large cent.

    From the pics it looks to have been lightly cleaned a long time ago but the color looks ok and the surfaces look relatively smooth... very few contact marks. I like it. I think XF for grade...
