Hey everyone! I’m posting a follow up with my 1861 IHC, and was looking gain some more insight to help me in the future with detecting these things. Everyone pointed out that the coin appeared to be cleaned, potentially an old cleaning, and I wanted to see if I could identify the tells.
Firstly, I noticed my original images seemed to have a lot of noise added when I uploaded them to Reddit. I’m going to upload new photos, and while the surface looks a bit nicer, I think there’s still evidence of cleaning. The red circles highlight some of what I learned as “halo effect” around the words, but I also circled in blue the other part of the legend. There doesn’t seem to be that same effect, what would cause this difference?
The other tell I read about was small parallel lines on the fields. It looks like that may be the case on the obverse to the left of the head, but on the reverse I’m not seeing any of those. Is/was it a thing to just wipe down the front of a coin? Or am I missing something there too?
Any other signs to look for that you may have noticed? Appreciate the help!

What’s your opinion on this dime? Does it look cleaned? The inside of the obverse D makes me wonder. It appears to have some toning.
