BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 06/04/2012 12:26 am The details look XF40 or so and the coin appears to have been cleaned or polished, particularly the obverse. This one could use a year or two on a wooden windowsill to pick up some toning. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
cinemabon Valued Member United States 154 Posts	Posted 06/04/2012 3:29 pm I'm almost afraid to ask what a wooden sill does to a coin, make the silver tarnish? I appreciate the honest eval. Going on your assessment, you've just doubled the value of my coin. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 06/04/2012 3:46 pm with XF40 details . Nice strong strike on the reverse! That low E in STATES should help give up the overton...I will look this evening if another has not attributed it yet... Edited by amida17 06/04/2012 3:47 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Yes - sunlight, fresh air, and unfinished (preferably) hardwood will impart some tarnish (toning) over time. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
