Looks like a little fresh copper around the ear and hair.

Yeah, I thought so too. Still not unhappy at $55.

I'm still at AU-55 on this one and I think it will straight grade.

I'd say AU-55. Hard to say whether the photo lighting is making it look previously cleaned.

looking closer at the new photos of the obv I'm seeing what could be signs of a cleaning where whatever was used was not washed off completely. all around the front of the profile there is a dividing line that appears to have been a liquid leaving residual. haloing around stars is another indicator. is it enough to detail the coin? not sure  |

I see some light rub at ear and hair curl and lighter copper. I think cleaned, but not aggressively. Question is this would grade straight - doubtful to me and a gamble. Not worth it as an AU Details coin. Nice if it would grade straight. Still OK with the purchase; I believe $55 was very fair.

Glad you think the results are good on this one - I was very pleased. Took five months to get this result. Kind of a long story. Worked pretty well on this coin, but poorly on another one (basically no improvement). Hate to put it out there as I don't want people to try this and possibly have poor results or even damage a coin - I'm still testing. Let me continue the experiments and, if I have consistent results, I'll share what I'm doing. It's very gentle and completely organic - zero chemicals.

Well whatever you are doing it does seem to improve the look of the coin.

I'm thinking it might grade straight now. Results on other coins not as good, but the coins aren't being damaged, just not showing improvement like this one.

coin looks a little better. to me the surfaces are just too dull to show as original. that sheen you see on AU and higher coins just doesn't look like its still there. 50/50 chance it grades straight. don't think that rim nick would detail it. again, you may be seeing something different that what we see in photos so the best assessment will be in hand. you've seen these before and if you have another old copper just compare those surfaces side by side.
