Pictures of the Coins are taken under the bright LED light so some coins are  more illuminated than the actual look of the coins.  Also it  may be impossible to  show ALL the wear and tear, scratches and actual condition of the coins  in the pictures. Pictures are the just closer representation of the actual look of  the coins. Some Coins look more brown or darker than they appear in pictures  especially pictures of Copper, Bronze coins .   

Most of the pictures are englarged 20 to 50 times of actual size of the coin. When you recived the coin, you may not be able to see all the details  with naked eyes. Please use magnigying glasses to examine the details of the items  

 I have  tried  my best to explain  the condition of the coins that are not certified .  And all the deions and  the condition of the coin, it is fully based on my opinion.  I do not clean  any of my coins, and I do not have time and enough resources to clean  professionally.  Most of the old coins that you buy may have passed through several hands over the years. So there is a chance  many of the old coins may have got cleaned by old collectors, because the less aware about the importance of not cleaning coins.    So some  of the coins listed  may be cleaned by  previously owners  , of its  long history.  All I can answer whether coin was cleaned or not based on my understanding on what I see.  If I mention anything about the condition of any non-graded coin, is just my opinion only.   If you have any questions, please ask me before buying it.
