Cheers Stevo, would that prevent a PCGS grade due to cleaning?

In that condition it probably would prevent it from getting graded

Yeah,shame,as soon as you see a shiny coin alarm bells should ring,it doesn't mean its been treated but there is a 90% chance it has.

Could have had the special treatment from our favourite ebay seller

I thought it looked polished due to the emu feathers looking rounded but then the star looks really sharp, so I was torn. Regardless I have now declined the coin, (its not from ebay / pw).  Thanks for everyones input it has validated my initial concern and saved me a few bob.
