Lobby Pillar of the Community United States 548 Posts	Posted 03/10/2013 9:31 pm Thanks, folks. Ya'll ended up where I was: an AU-55 - 58 coins, but corroded. In hand, I can see some wear on the leading edge of the eagle wings. Not much... What should I do with this thing? I got it at a pretty decent price. I'm worried about keeping it, as I fear the corrosion will continue. I don't want to mess with the coin, as it's just such a good strike. Should I get it graded and hope to sell it for $130 - $160? Think I can do that? Should I just try to sell it as is? Should I put it in my jeans' coin pocket and hope I can naturally wear off the corrosion damage? Decisions, decisions....

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 03/11/2013 12:04 am I think this is still a nice looking coin. So it should be on the higher end of the details pricing, which in practicallity is usually 2 grades or more down. I think this coin doesn't warrant that much of a reduction in price. The jeans pocket doesn't sound like a bad idea, but could really end up adding hits or wear to the head, and you don't want that! Grading a known details coin - go the cheapest route posibly, probably ANACS on a special monthly deal or coupon. Just sell it as is maybe give that a try first on ebay of here.

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19966 Posts	Posted 03/11/2013 12:04 pm While some may consider toning as "corrosion", I do not. It's part of the natual aging process for silver. To me this coin looks completely normal and just how it should given it's age. I like it as is! Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
