Do you think that this 1796 Bust quarter has been cleaned?

Here it is...

1796 25C

Is there anything that stands out about its appearance?

...no.

Maybe a long, long, long time ago. The fields do look lighter but I think its becuase its easier to wear down there during circulation.

edited to add my opinion............Yes

It's no secret that very early (i.e. flowing hair and draped bust) coinage get a LOT more leeway with respect to being slabbed with problems than other coins.

I've actually seen much worse early stuff slabbed in "first world" holders.

Most likely a light cleaning long ago. But it certainly looks over graded to me.

I know it's a Heritage pic, but the color of it does make the coin appear to have been cleaned looong ago. It's gotten some nice crust since then. As far as the grade, I don't think it's too terribly overgraded. It's definitely a VF, but 30 may be just a bit high.

It was probably cleaned a long time ago, but it's still a nice coin, so don't worry about it.

I always like "Soap and Watered Long Ago" on RCNH's site. I get a kick out that statement for some reason.

I agree with your comment.

Duncan Lee had a GORGEOUS VG8 PCGS on ebay a week or 2 ago that did not sell. I bought my PCGS G4 from him last year.
