  Wiped/cleaned in the past with clear vertical lines and damage on the reverse and obverse. All combined likely upgradable.

  So which coin is it? The first one looks like a Good + with acceptable gray surfaces and the second on looked to be heavily cleaned. These coins are not that rare in low grade.

  Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. 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 agree cleaned and damaged, probably would not grade. The first set of pictures hides the problems really well. The first and second set of Photos look like completely different coins. It always amazes me what can be done with photography.

  I rarely buy on ebay so I know nothing about this seller. It does seem if the seller was trying to deceive he would have been better off posting the first set of photos and skipping the second set.
