1817/3 Half Dollar. NGC AU-53, from Jules Reiver collection. Overgraded, IMO.

Like that 7/3 half. It's certainly no secret. I lost this thread for a while, too. Moe, how many 1813 halves was that? Wow, like 10!! My contribution for today:

I like those two 1807s, one facing one way, one facing the other. You can see it's two different women!

Better get some Verdi-Care for your large cent.

Quote: Better get some Verdi-Care for your large cent. Thanks Mark. I soaked it it acetone first and then verdi-care and it improved a bit but you see what remains. I feel ok with it at this point based on guidance from the verdi-care inventor Bad Thad. He said ... "To add to this, dehydrating verdigris with acetone is an excellent conservation practice. If you're not going to remove it, dehydration basically "inactivates" the verdigris since it needs water to develop and grow. If you take away feed materials, verdigris will be dormant."
