Has it been cleaned?

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

just a qiuck one.

I bought some shillings couple of days ago and this one sticks out.

Has this coin been cleaned? Or is just in good nick?

Thanks and have a nice evening.

May have been dipped, maybe not. It's difficult to tell from the image, but it certainly hasn't been polished on the obverse.

Looks like plenty of lustre! If I was buying on iPhone pictures alone, I'd say I'd take a chance on it being ok!

Whether it is or not would require better images! Looks alright to me, though!

Not cleaned I think. It's a classic G6 UNC piece of silver.

1945 English

Nice. Silver 1944-1946 is quite common in high grades as it was hoarded after cupro-nickel replaced silver in 1947. Having said that, it's still nice to get a BU example like yours, and if you are a type collector that's a gap filled. Very nice shilling. :)
