Wow 266.50 ended..... Really surprised it got a 66 with rims like that, I have have heaps of 64's and 65's that are pretty much perfect, am I missing something ? Maybe the grader felt generous on that day lol
i would say drunk or stoned would be a more accurate assessment  |

Personally I think slabbing is a cancer on this great hobby. I just don't understand the ridiculous premiums people are paying for these coins. To me it is no different to bashing a coin with a hammer and calling it an error. A Blatant ripoff!!. Covering the cost of slabbing is ok I guess but gee whizz.

Just got these today ,the 1971 50c would go close except for the mark on the the queen's cheek
Mate get the coins out of those pvc folders as soon as you can. That mark on the cheek could even be PVC, Try a bit of acetone on it. Shock horror trout mentions cleaning   |

I would acetone them first if I was you. Those wallets are nasty. If they havent already damaged the coins they will as time passes.

This one was taken out of wallet about Ten years ago. Not treated. The question now will be if acetone can save it. (And all the others I dragged out)  |

Can you take a picture in the same light with the same background?
Did you have it soaking this whole time? I'm interested to know. The longest I have soaked is about an hour.

I think it was Compact Flouro, I use LED and Halogen as well. The most activity was the first 30 minutes. Solution changed. The Emu's chest still showed evidence of PVC, the Queens neck also had a little Blue still showing. 24 hours changed solution again.(Emu still a little blue) Left the coin in until to-day Not too sure where the yellow cast is coming from, It's not on the coin!  |
