SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 04/01/2009 2:58 pm Second of two newps today, purchased from CCF member ShadowCreator. He suspected this coin of an old cleaning; if he's right, it's retoning quite nicely. I note hairlines on the obverse, but they do not form a pattern under magnification. I can't wait to get this one under axial lighting - the color really jumps out at you. Note the extremely shattered reverse. There are also cracks radiating from the base on the obverse, and from the 3 to the arrow. This was a nice little bonus. Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 04/01/2009 5:35 pm Yeah - The reverse die must have been pretty torn up by the time it got to this coin and if it's been cleaned, it must have been 100 years ago! VF30. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
