CoinsKelly Pillar of the Community United States 3453 Posts	Posted 11/21/2013 10:36 pm I am in for low to mid Au on this one. Very nice strike, good line definition in the III, it is nice to see a nose fully intact. The only thing really holding me back is the almost blending of the hair on the forehead. The details are nice in this example . Edit: you may want to address the stuff on the obverse if it is verdigris. I have yet to address "stuff" so hopefully someone more knowledgeable than I will chime in. Edited by CoinsKelly 11/21/2013 10:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18681 Posts	Posted 11/22/2013 10:07 am I'll say AU53 on this one. I think the crud on the head band keeps it short of 55. that may come off with an acetone bath. I do feel this coin may have been cleaned in the past and this may be the residual that could not be removed. there is a weak stain on the reverse where the leaves meet that is also suspect Report this Post to the Staff

Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 11/22/2013 2:56 pm with EF-40. VERY nice, full strike. IMO, these are fairly tough to find with full strike details. Report this Post to the Staff
