At first glance Abe's lips look odd/off....  What's the back story on this, recent purchase or in collection for awhile?

Great looking 31-S. Strong bow tie - I can see AU53. Acetone might get rid of that black gunk.

I'm thinking low AU range. Nice coin!

What a beautiful, brown example of a 31S! I love it and the tiny bit of gunk around the devices, shows originality. I wouldn't even use water on this, good as it is, great coin.  EF-45
