Has this coin been cleaned?

I know it's kinda of hard from the pics...but do you think this coin on the bay has been cleaned?

I can't tell for sure, but it looks like a potentially nasty stain on the left half of the reverse.

They give their phone number in the About Me page.
I could not tell what the shape of the coin is in that POOR image.

With pics like that you have 3 options..... Option one you pass and save your money, Option 2 you roll the dice and hope to get lucky or option 3 contact seller and ask for better pics. If you get no responce or an excuse why he cant even provide a decent pic, dont even waste your money on it cause the pic is bad for a reason.

I'm going to say yes

I think that reverse stain Jeremy brings up is pvc, you can see a blob of it at 6:00, looks like it may have been in that toxic flip for sometime if you look at the ring the coin has made in it------BigE

Hi there,

I'd say yes, from his other auctions (look at those BU Indian 1C and most of the circ Lincolns....) and the terrible pics which are likely bad for a reason. The color appears off to a degree (on several of the circ Lincolns) and the rev has the problem(s) noted above. But is it CH. AU55? And is that extra Photoshop sharpening on the image of the MM or...? All I am saying is I don't like image - I don't know whose motivations are what etc...

Best,
Eric

No call. Photos too poor.

Probably afraid to shot it out of the flip...better to have questionable than concise on the bay.
