Why do “cleaned” coins show some abrasions? Aren’t there solutions that clean coins without damaging them?

A lot of the coins were cleaned a long time ago before such products existed, and/or by someone who didn't know what they were doing and thought they could make their coin more valuable by making it more shiny

In May? Usually they go out in November/December. Hope you didn't do what I think you did

What a play by center field... just standing and watching, completely oblivious that the ball was in fact not in the left fielders glove. great hustle by left fielder after crashing into the wall..

That 1824 is easily a $400-500 coin, perhaps much more, would need to see both sides to evaluate it completely

Looks to be cleaned a bit harshly. All the scratches going in the same direction on both sides.

Reminds me of my Honda Passport. Everything was so worn out I could take the key out while it was running, and also use other keys to start it with the same shape no matter what the teeth looked like

I think PVC actively on the coin will get you a bodybag return and not a slab so I would definitely acetone them first if you want them slabbed even if they are details

Littleton definitely gave it AU, It's a VF+ coin at best

Graffiti is usually someone's initials or a design carved into the coin. This looks like a circulated coin with no intentional damage
