    I'd say very harshly cleaned.

    I would say that it wouldn't matter either way- and I still think that sellers should disclose information about the cleaned status of a coin they are selling.....image

    Looks like it has been brushed or polished, a very poor job too.

    And that just so happens to be a very large dealer here in San Antonio... too bad.

    Not whizzed.

    FYI,
    I bought from that dealer once 3-4 years ago. Returned the coin for being cleaned, which wasn't evident in the pic. No problem with the return, but seems he deals in junque.

    i wouldn't say "VERY HARSHLY" cleaned, the cleaning is not that bad imo. put that coin in a whitman for a few years, & i'd bet it'll take on some pretty nice tone.

    the price is stupidly high though.

    About 30 to 40 bucks. Cleaned but not whizzed.

    Cleaned, looks like a toothbrush and toothpaste to me. If he hasn't mentioned the cleaning in the listing he's one you should stay away from IMO. Oops, just noticed... not AU detail. My description from the pic if it were mine would be EF details cleaned net VF 25 or 30.
