buddy16cat Pillar of the Community United States 1536 Posts	Posted 08/11/2013 7:04 pm I am usually against doing anything to coins unless it is needed or warranted. Do you think I should soak this coin to get the crud off the obverse to see if the "T" in "LIBERTY" is clear? While I am posting, what do you think the value of this coin is? I am getting different values when I check a variety of sources. I guess you select the lowest value when that in the case? I think it is G06 but has a couple small scratches on the reverse.
