paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 01/01/2019 4:00 pm I really like the "woodgrain" or "tiger stripe" as seen on some of these older LWC's. Thoughts on a grade? It is difficult to grade for me because there is still a bit of luster and certain areas are very sharp (wheat stalks) while others appear more worn. There is a dirty spot on the obverse I have not attempted to remove. Pictures taken with higher lighting and lower lighting.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 01/01/2019 4:07 pm EF-40 based on the second set of pics, nice ear but slightly weak reverse. Oxidation spots detract but should respond to Verdi-care with any discoloration being camouflaged by the woodgrain effect. Report this Post to the Staff
