silverdollar2011 Valued Member United States 385 Posts	Posted 07/07/2012 9:21 pm hey guys, I snagged this off ebay for around 4 bucks and found that it has some toning spots or corrosion I should say. DO y'all think its attractive or ugly lol, and what would you grade it? Please let me know, thank you very much in advance, I really appreciate the help! Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 07/07/2012 10:29 pm Nice coin for a cheap price. I fear that unless this coin is in an air tight capsule or a glued mylar 2x2 with acrhival quality album pages, the toning may become unsightly. It is reasonably attractive toning wise for now, but you will have to think about it's conservation. Report this Post to the Staff

coinsnpaper Valued Member Canada 480 Posts	Posted 07/09/2012 04:43 am It should not be rust- the coin is .750 silver. Struck at San Fransisco, almost a 1/4 oz of silver. Report this Post to the Staff
snowman Pillar of the Community United States 1840 Posts	Posted 07/10/2012 7:45 pm That is a very attractive coin that you got at an excellent price. I don't think that the spots detract from it at all. The coin definitely looks mint state. The exact grade is hard to determine from the pics. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 07/10/2012 9:02 pm It would be unattractive if it was much darker but I think it is fine as is. The pictures are a bit small for an accurate grade but it has nice luster and very clean fields so I would go MS-64. Report this Post to the Staff
