VF details maybe? Not a great coin but decent for the price I think. Jerry http://www.ebay.com/itm/1850-Braide...ht_797wt_667

I would say it is VF. I am not seeing it as a details coin but the photos are not really good. I am seeing a bit of a bit vergis that should be removed.

I do not believe this coin needs to be retoned. I also do not believe retoning a coin it a good thing. Coins should be kept as original as possible. Having said that, this coin could use some conservation. At minimum an acetone bath. At maximum maybe some Verdicare or other conservation product. The down side of conservation products is that they sometimes darken or change color of coins.

you might be right about the pics. Coin looked shiny to me by sellers pics. Might look different in hand. If it does look brown in hand I do have both acetone and verdicare to conserve it. With the detail left on the coin I think it was an ok buy for 15 dollars.

Great buy on that coin Jerry! VF25 and looks like it would conserve pretty well too.
