paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 07/08/2018 5:43 pm I don't have the knack like @jerryc39 but I think for $12 this 1846 is pretty decent. Looks like a nice VG. The colors look original underneath the heavy layer of 100 year old gunk and dirt, so I think I'll give it a long Verdi-Care soak and let it be. (With all the chemists in the world, you'd think someone would have figured out how to clone Blue Ribbon by now!) Seller photos. I just cropped them and put them onto a black background.

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11914 Posts	Posted 07/09/2018 4:17 pm I have it at vf25-30 if it cleans up. If it doesn't the maybe ED depending on what the dark areas are hiding. Report this Post to the Staff
