ContraJame Valued Member United States 292 Posts	Posted 03/03/2012 3:24 pm VF-30 with some odd stuff going on in the surfaces. Is it pitting or really sharp pointed hits? I can't tell from the pictures. Report this Post to the Staff
Peter4805 Pillar of the Community Canada 987 Posts	Posted 03/03/2012 3:48 pm I thought it might have been pitted but then I got looking closer. I found out that it's just some specks of stuff stuck to the surface. I gently wiped a small part of it and it came right off. Report this Post to the Staff
Landon Valued Member United States 264 Posts	Posted 03/04/2012 2:18 pm Never wipe a coin like that. In the future buy some pure acetone and dip the coin in it. If you easily wiped it off it would have came off quickly in acetone. Acetone will remove organic matter amongst a slew of other things without affecting the toning or harming the coin in any way. You just dip it and let it air-dry, no need to rinse or anything. It will evaporate very quickly. Any time you wipe, regardless of how gently or what with you create hairline scratches.

Peter4805 Pillar of the Community Canada 987 Posts	Posted 03/05/2012 2:31 pm Thanks everyone for your help and opinions. I figured this coin was a bit risky when I bought it. Fortunately I didn't pay a lot for it. Report this Post to the Staff
