While NGC notes that this dollar has been cleaned, there is another
possibility as Dr. Stark explains: "I met with Bill Bareford, then
a precious metals specialist with DuPont, soon after the sale of
his father's collection (Stack's, October 1981). I showed him a few
early dollars, including this coin. He commented on some planchet
streaks and opined that it likely was caused by the alloyed silver
or another silver phase; noting that they were not likely the
result of a cleaning." Hints of luster remain in the protected
areas of this pleasing light gray example that shows rich gold
toning on the high points.Ex: Matt Rothert (Bowers and Ruddy, 11/1973), lot 930.
