It's a perfectly fine, fairly valued and most attractive coin. Who cares about the holder.

I've dealt with that seller before and he is straight shooter. Congrats on the purchase! Be sure to upload some pics when you crack it out.

Thanks for the follow-ups guys. I'll give it an acetone bath and then a little Verdi-Care Mark. I'll take pictures of the slab, coin (before and after) and in the 7070.

Thanks Mark! I didn't even notice that post count.

Nice purchase, seems like a pretty good coin. I'd just give it a bit of a verdicare treatment on the reverse. Only thing that was a possible concern to me were the rims - if they are okay, then you did well!

Congrats on the 3000 posts Mike and USSID

Er, not sure that ICG is a scam... I wonder what basebal21 will have to say on that?

SilverDollar2017- Go back to my first post and click on the ebay listing I posted. The first picture has the shadow on the top of the coin. Now go look at the last picture of his coin.

You can see the rim at least on the rev. What do you think?

I didn't need the VerdiCare. The Verdigris came off in the acetone bath.

I had the Verdi-Care ready to go. What a great feeling when the acetone took it off!

Regarding the rim questions/issues. The rev. looks like a slight misalignment.
