biggfredd Rest in Peace United States 9104 Posts	Posted 05/07/2012 12:28 am Looks like it was harshly cleaned and scratched, and is now retoning. Nice high grade, but too common to justify professional conservation. Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6385 Posts	Posted 05/07/2012 12:29 am The toning is not a plus for this coin but it also does not look like a typical "problem" (such as fingerprints or environmental damage). Otherwise the coin has strong AU detail and a sharp strike. It appears to retain some luster. I could see AU-50 or AU-53 but the toning might reduce the appeal for some collectors.

D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 05/07/2012 5:55 pm I think the coin has AU details. I think the coin may be have been cleaned because the surfaces especially behind Liberty appear lifeless. The stars above the eagle have that halo that is often found on cleaned coins. The toning is also not the most attractive. Report this Post to the Staff

FlipOfACoin Valued Member 474 Posts	Posted 05/08/2012 7:36 pm Thank you all for your feedback! I was not planning on sending it in to a TPG, because I am certain it will come back in a body bag. Oh well, I'll just list it in the store... Maybe someone is looking for one like this... Report this Post to the Staff
