i think it would net to AG3 as well. the obv is quite nice. I agree if the price is right. some of the dark spots on the reverse might clean up a little with an acetone soak.

Appreciate the feedback, all. I was a little higher, was thinking net G4. Sellers not liking my idea on price so far. So may just pass on this one.

I hope for the best, but it is okay, you cannot win them all. If you pass on this, good luck on the next one. |

The sharpness of the devices on both sides should be strong enough for a G-4/6, but the wear on the reverse rim seems disproportionate. I wonder if that was caused by some remote damage rather than circulation wear. Other than that, I don't see anything that would suggest a details grade. Probably best to pass if the price wasn't right.

I have used it on several coins over the years that graded straight. there is also another product called Verdicare, developed by a CCF member, that remove organics and protect the surfaces of coppers with no affect on the surfaces that would warrant a details designation. |

Obv G-4 rev FR-AG probably AG, AG-3 net Reverse looks heavily worn possibly artificially, perhaps briefly a Dryer Coin or something. |

I think the Community has it right. I think Rick Snow's advice about buying problem coins is worth mentioning. "Problem coins will always be a problem" If it is to be a filler coin, get it and wait for a better coin.

Generally, I agree with you Jimbo. At the price I offered the seller, I would have been happy. But that was a no go. I did like the circ cameo on this coin despite the uneven wear. So passing and looking for something better. Finding raw problem free and appealing to me coins at prices I'm willing to pay makes for a slow hunt.
