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.

Impressive!

I have only had mine just over 17 years.

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

Incredible job you're done storing it! Congrats on it not developing verdigris, that's a LONG time for copper. You've done something right with storage!
