My guess is AU50-53. Maybe higher, but the pics are a little blurry when I zoom in.

Just so you know, there are way more qualified members to give an appropriate grade than me. I'm trying to work on it so I like to give a guess before anyone else. More knowledgeable answers will be coming.

I think it's a gorgeous woodie and a little conservation will take care of most if not all verdigris . After the attention, I see no reason why we can't call this a nice brown unc.

Agree that technically it's at least a 58, but I think we have a ways to go before this merits a clean Unc grade.

Sorry Bruce ,but I have to stick to my guns . Even if there is a trace left of Verdigris that's no reason this will not grade 61 0r 62 BN after a workout .
