dcas55 New Member United States 44 Posts	Posted 06/25/2016 5:14 pm I have this 1868 2 cent coin, I think the details look pretty good, but it has environmental damage I think. How good/bad is it? Can anything be done to help? Thanks dcas Report this Post to the Staff

You could try soaking it in Verdi-Care, but I doubt even that would make much of a difference. It's a cull, basically. Edited by Coinfrog 06/25/2016 5:20 pm Report this Post to the Staff

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 06/26/2016 02:20 am AU details, ex-ground recovery IMO, as above. Way better than VF (full motto and almost no wear to shield lines.)

ChildOfTheWheat Pillar of the Community United States 5828 Posts	Posted 06/26/2016 12:20 pm Look at the wear in the leaves on the obverse though... Also, look at the reverse. I know its hard to see but it certainly looks worn to me! Maybe a VF-35 details, shot at XF Details, but not AU! Report this Post to the Staff
