It's a tough call, I had agreed with you at first because the reverse by the leaves doesn't show as many die stress lines as the reference example. The small lump at end of the scroll on obverse tipped me to the 8. I will try it at PCGS, and see what they think. Both WB3 and 8 are very similar. Tough call.
Thanks for looking I appreciate it. |

@GMS5
I had thought so too, but it lacks the obverse characteristics below which are consistent with WB-3, unless the pictures dont show:
Centered date with worn digits
; Die cracks in rock support to the left of the ribbon
; Clash marks in the drapery below Liberty's elbow and to the left of Liberty's right hand |

Sorry, I completely forgot I made a thread for this. I soaked it in an airtight container so the verdicsre would not evaporate off the surface.
I actually soaked in di water, like BadThad mentioned. No changes, still the same loss of color. But then I put in a napkin in sunlight to see if the color would return naturally. In a few months Ill post the results.
I got this coin on the cheaper side, so I just chalk it as a small loss. But it is wild, considering I never had an issue with VC. If anything, any coin I treat with Verdicare comes out real nice! |

Looks AU ENV damage. I'd try some verdi-care and see if it'll remove that haze.
I've purchased several times from this seller. One coin I purchased looked cleaned through pictures, but had great fields and cartwheel luster in hand. Another time, purchased a coin with some really nice toning. I submitted that particular coin to a TPG and it graded UNC details cleaned, but the toning was nice enough to ignore the details grade. He has a favorable return policy, so I would use that unless you like the coin. |

Agree with Andrew99. Sam S. at Heritage is great to deal with for HA Inventory. Managed to secure a nice piece cheaper than the listed price thanks to him. If you're serious about buying the coin, they'll work with you.
The offer feature is a good idea, but it would be nice to see more responses from the owners. No responses on all of the coins I have sent offers for. |

Nice to hear Jaobler! I was skeptical that the original owner's bother looking at the offers they receive for auctions complete that long ago.
For what it's worth I sent two offers on two different coins that were purchased 2-3 years ago, no answers.
It is probably best for coins that were recently won; past ones seem to be a crap shoot to get a response. |
