    Such cleaning hairlines are the bane of collecting US-PI coins, as Filipino dealers had a propensity for shining them up for their customers. It seems like more than half the coins I get from the Philippines, having uncirculated details, have been cleaned! Such a shame, but that has made the untouched coins even more desirable, as they are conditional rarities. And I have been cherry picking.image
