Does this coin look cleaned. I'm a newbie trying to sharpen my grading skills.

what coin?

It's tough enough with a scan. Without one? Now that's REALLY tough.

It's been HARSHLY POLISHED.

It looks like it has been cleaned with silver polish to me!!

<< <i>This has been heavily polished to give it a mirrorlike sheen. >>

Direct quote from the auction. The coin has a very unnatural shine to it. Avoid this coin and go find yourself another one. You can do better than this!!

Trust the actual eBay auction description on this one: "it's been heavily polished. . .".
Sure has.

This Morgan would make a great money clip though.

If you're even thinking about buying coins like that, continue doing what you did and post them on the board. 9 out of 10 board members would discourage you from making a purchase like that. We're here if you need us.

Edit: re-reading your post I guess you never said you were thinking of buying it. ....hmmmm, don't scare me like that.
