It really needs a dip in Acetone to get rid of the debris. I was extremely excited about this coin probably more so than the later slabbed purchases. It is a variety I Have had on my top ten list for almost a decade. not only that its in a reasonable grade. Its only classified as rare but has been extremely elusive. The main marker being the 1 and 8. Flynn's book falls down on this one in the diagnostics. He has a habit of using die cracks as markers which is ok, until you come across an early state version where the die cracks have not yet formed. So would you care to grade my dirty 2 Cent KF-F2-TPD, BR2382, FL65F-lolr,FS2-25,KN2 Report this Post to the Staff

philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 11/22/2012 09:28 am I agree! The degree of definition that you've been able to extract from a denomination that lasted only nine years is the true prize. Dirt and wear mean nothing! Report this Post to the Staff
