I just received these two pieces today. I am new to grading/collecting coins, but do these look like they have been cleaned? Grade? Just curious what you guys/gals think. Thank you. Chaz

    Definitely not a harsh cleaning if they were.
    I don't see many hairlines, and the color looks "original" enough from the images.

    But, it's up to you if you want to call them cleaned or not. At least you're playing it safe!

    Need to see both sides to give a grade estimate.

    The photo of the '82 5c suggests cleaned EF45/AU50 details.

    Both sides are there, you just have to scroll over since they are so damn big.

    Anyone want to take a shot @ a possible net grade?

    My guess is xf45 on the shield, not sure what the mark around 3'oclock is thou and it has been cleaned up might bb.
    At worst net low vf if dinged as cleaned and damaged.
    The 3¢ I think would bb for cleaning and be a net grade in the vf range.

    Very nice clash on the reverse of that 3 center!

    Thay both look cleaned the 3CN for sure has hairlines across the obv, I won't guess on a grade as I know little of either series.

    I provided an opinion on the Shield based on the photo: cleaned EF45/AU50 details. A "net grade," as you use the term, is meaningless except as a price tag for a "problem" coin. Personally, because 1882s are readily available and relatively cheap in higher circulated grades, I would net grade a cleaned EF45/AU50 as PO1 to reflect its value in the context of the series. Other opinions will vary.
