Nearly every bust half you see on ebay is cleaned or damaged. Less than 5% are original and problem-free. Even the ones that look good in the pictures are usually wiped or hairlined, and you can bet that the sellers know it.
It's really too bad that early Bust Halver are cleaned. I have two, one dipped and one cleaned with re-toning. I wish our fore-fathers did not clean them.

Our forefathers didn't. We did back in the 1960's and early 70's when a coin couldn't be sold unless it was nice and shinny
Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.

I doubt even 1% of the raw Bust Halves on ebay have not been cleaned.
One of them is on my sig line.
