west- canuk Valued Member Canada 497 Posts	Posted 04/11/2012 01:05 am A friend has this coronet, pretty rough with edge dings and corrosion, would it grade at good, also would an acetone dip help with the corrosion or do more bad than good. What would be a fair price for this? Thanks in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

Doesn't matter how nice it is when you close your eyes and just feel that hunk of copper in your hand. Pretty nice. Report this Post to the Staff

TJsCoins Pillar of the Community United States 3229 Posts	Posted 04/12/2012 01:44 am I say $5.00 and a verdi care bath for this this one:) Maybe vf details but the damage does this one one in for value. Report this Post to the Staff
