@Jerry Picker, can you post some new pics? Never used Blu-Bow, don't know what's in it, nor the affects it will have on a copper coin.

Pictures of what? Blu-Bow has everything in it but the toxic chemical that got Blue Ribbon banned.

Tough date! Obverse F-15, reverse F-12, net *tossup* for this one. I can't see VF without "WE" being legible, but the verticals and horizontals on the shield are strong. The reverse can't be all wear. It's weaker than the obverse, but has more detail than I would expect for VG or a low F.
Just me, but I'd leave the surface untouched. There's too much at stake with this coin to run the risk.

I think we're seeing strike weakness not heavy wear in places where details are missing so I'll go with VF-20.

I'm on the fence on this one, as to F15 or VF20, I'm leaning more towards the F15 as there is just no "WE" visible. There is some pretty rough areas inside the shield vertical lines area.

@Oldfordman
How can you tell it's been cleaned?

It has that look on the surface. It may be the lighting though.

Color seems right for brass and no fine lines so I think clean grade.
