Sorry for the poor photo quality, they are the sellers photos and all I have. Let me start by saying I know zero about what to look for in non-silver coins. Please tell me your thoughts? Thanks.

    I'm not into British grading, but using my Canadian experience I would say 64 Red. The lack of clear detail in Georgie's hair keeps it from 65 (of course that could be from a poor photo). No dings or carbon observed, so if it's just a blurry photo, the coin could go 65 Red.

    I have no idea how to tell if a copper, bronze, whatever lol coin has been cleaned. Do you think that this coin shows a cleaning at all? Or can you not tell from the pics?

    It's a lack luster pic for sure! (pun intended) image Could be a nice one.

    I wish I could help with the assessment, but all I see is a red X. It must be a problem with my internet.

    Based on the replies you are getting, the problem must be with my service, not with the picture.

    Good looking penny. I don't see anything that says "cleaned" to me. But you really have to look for the mint luster to tell.

    The voice in my head says there is smoething wrong with that picture.I believe it to be tweaked to look better.I have no proof but that is just my intuition.
