lahave56 Valued Member Canada 279 Posts	Posted Today 3H 19M ago I've had this coin for awhile. Obviously a key date. Purchased as part of an inherited collection. My initial estimate at the grade when I first acquired it was VG Details due to the corrosion. I think it may well be a ground find. I've been re-organizing and took another look and figured I'd get a second opinion on the grade. I also now recognize what looks to me like PVC contamination and given the details nature of the coin I think it's worth an acetone soak to try to mitigate it. Opinions appreciated.

lahave56 Valued Member Canada 279 Posts	Posted Today 1H 24M ago Thanks for the input folks. The reverse certainly looks better than the obverse IMO and I'm wondering if it's already been cleaned at some point (although maybe not with acetone) giving it the cameo aspect @jbuck mentioned. It's a keeper anyway. Report this Post to the Staff
