gotboostedvr6 Valued Member United States 261 Posts	Posted 06/25/2019 3:13 pm Its definitely the most worn Morgan I've held in hand. Should I dip it in acetone to remove the grime? Report this Post to the Staff

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 06/26/2019 9:08 pm Looks like it picked up some hairlines after the acetone -- only let it air dry, never rub or wipe it. It won't make a grade at a TPG because the mintmark area is too worn to discern a MM, which is required for a true lowball Poor-1. It definitely has character, though, and could probably tell very many stories about where it's been and who held it.
