    At the very least, harshly cleaned.

    Unfortunately it has been polished.

    This one has been dipped, but not polished. A lot of collectors around here don't like it, but this is "market acceptable." If you see any sort of mirror finish on silver coins from this era, chances are it's a sign of trouble.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    Looks highly polished to me as well. But plenty of detail and a good strike. I personally would prefer something with a less flashy look, but to each his own.

    Looks polished, or something similarly catastrophic. image
    When in doubt, don't.

    Looks polished to me but better quality photos would certainly help.

    Not really looking for much these days but if I were, it might be a toner. :smile:

    Polished. What a shame to see a high grade coin with that kind of look.

    hopefully return option isn't too difficult if you paid any type of money for it

    surely as soon as you open the package...buyers remorse will overcome you

    like others have stated...polished...maybe whizzed then poilshed

    could even be a plated counterfeit

    images are as rough as this coins life if real...a travesty
    everything in life is but merely on loan to us by our appreciation....lose your appreciation and see
