Half Penny Jon Posted June 12, 2004 Posted June 12, 2004 Has this 1895 2mm penny been cleaned or is the seller just being cautious?My WebpageHPJ. Quote
Master Jmd Posted June 12, 2004 Posted June 12, 2004 doesnt look it from the scan, there are no lines or finger prints, and the inside of the lettering does not look toned Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted June 12, 2004 Author Posted June 12, 2004 I didn't think that it looked cleaned, maybe the seller is just being cautious about those black spots. Quote
Emperor Oli Posted June 12, 2004 Posted June 12, 2004 It looks a bit iffy - I think he's right to play it safe. Something about the jewellery on the bust doesn't ring true with a coin that is purporting to be in that condition. It should be much sharper imho. Quote

Half Penny Jon Posted June 13, 2004 Author Posted June 13, 2004 Cleaning usually produces hairlines, the coin does look a bit odd. BUYER BEWARE. Quote
william Posted June 13, 2004 Posted June 13, 2004 It does look a bit strange doesn't it? The toning doesn't look right to me... Quote
