delaner Pillar of the Community United States 870 Posts	Posted 06/20/2010 12:04 pm Hmmm... nobody wants to take a stab? It's heavily corroded, but there is a lot of detail. I figured G6 - 8ish. I've also been thinking about giving this one a soak, mainly to stop the verdigris but also to see if I can perhaps remove a layer of crust. Anyway, all opinions welcome. =) Report this Post to the Staff

As is so common with these heavily corroded Connecs, an attempted cleaning has been attempted. A soak would only help and not hurt this particular coin :-) swcoin.ecrater.com Edited by vermontensium 06/20/2010 6:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff

delaner Pillar of the Community United States 870 Posts	Posted 06/21/2010 02:09 am Interesting! The seller sold it as VF, but I didn't believe it for a minute. I figured VG... I started a distilled water soak tonight, I'll fill you in if there's a change! Report this Post to the Staff
