That is a really strong dot and a nice overall grade. Id be leaning towards aEF rather than gVF. Probably get AU-50-53 I reckon. NGC have a conservation service.

Simply dunk it in acetone to get rid of the oily residue and do NOTHING else to it.
If after the acetone bath you are not happy then see if you can get a refund for the coin WARM DISTILLED WATER FIRST and no detergents.4 or 5 5 min. soaks,pat dry and place on a warm scratch free surface.The coin appears problem free,why use acetone?But if you must  find the purist form available. |

Id use acetone before distilled water all day. If there is a sheen of oil then distilled water isn't going to do a thing, acetone will.

For a coin of that value I would be sending it to a professional....I've heard good reports about both PCGS and NCS, but I would be asking them some questions well before sending them that coin.

Thanks for the replies. I looked at the recommended slabbers and there are a few problems. They conserve and slab the coin ( they say 4-6 week turnaround but that is probably for the USA, but I'm fine with waiting), but how do I get very high resolution detailed photos from multiple angles, special lighting tricks etc done once the coin is slabbed?  Some of the details I need are down to microns in size. But if I crack the slab to take the images I void the grade backing. Does anyone have experience of using these services and were there any problems? |

ADMISLE The dot over top scroll is rare (maybe 1 in every few hundred 1920 pennies if your lucky). The dot over bottom is reasonably common (15-20% of 1920 pennies). The dot over the bottom scroll WITH ENGLISH DIE OBVERSE is the   times 100 squared  There are over 1000 1930 pennies known ($20,000 in F grade) There are over 100 1922/21 threepences known ($4,000 in VG grade) There are over 50 1931 dropped 1 Indians known ($4,000 in F grade) There are 10 1916 mule halfpennies known (currently one in Downies for $95,000 in aVG grade) There are about 10 1920 dot over lower scroll English pennies known (one sold at Nobles 2 years ago for around $5,000). This coin is the finest known example of an Extremely Rare coin. Hence the  . BTW does anyone have a full list of the known examples? I know of the Geoff Raynes coin (2002), Peter Andrews (2002), Stuart Anderson (impaired, found in 2010)($1,495?), Nobles auction (F grade), Status auction (VG scratched $2,100), Downies catalogue(2011 VG $3450). Triton (Jon Saxton) mentions 4 known and that was in 2004 so I must be missing a few. |
