RW1010 Pillar of the Community United States 1207 Posts	Posted 06/07/2020 7:09 pm Thanks onedollarbillnut. My first thought was to put it on the grading forum but it doesn't look so high grade. I thought when they say PL details it's only certain areas Report this Post to the Staff

Daves Errors Pillar of the Community United States 1566 Posts	Posted 06/07/2020 7:34 pm To me the coin looks like it was HARSHLY CLEANED with some kind of ACID cleaner. NOT a MS 63 just a Damaged coin. Report this Post to the Staff

RW1010 Pillar of the Community United States 1207 Posts	Posted 06/07/2020 7:35 pm Thanks coinfrog. I couldn't figure out why the surfaces were so rough. Makes sense now Report this Post to the Staff
RW1010 Pillar of the Community United States 1207 Posts	Posted 06/07/2020 8:00 pm I see why you would say cleaned daveserrors. Photos dont capture all the luster. It would have to have been cleaned buffed and waxed to get as shiny as these old pics show Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/07/2020 8:11 pm Acid would not likely affect the coin in such a random way. Looks like die pitting from rust and grease issues. Report this Post to the Staff
