vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 11/23/2013 11:17 pm Am I the only one seeing spots of corrosion on the reverse? I also think PCGS was pretty liberal on the grade. Problem free Don't get me wrong, I would take ANY 1793 any day of the week! http://www.ebay.com/itm/200950829620?ru=http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html%3F_sacat=0&_from=R40&_nkw=200950829620&_rdc=1 swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

CCF has been experiencing Forum Time Anomaly™ since the DST changeover. It should be OK now, but please contact us if your computer is showing you next Thursday's posts. These aren't RCW's best images, but it leaves me the impression of a horribly-overgraded coin. Report this Post to the Staff
jerseyben Pillar of the Community United States 1211 Posts	Posted 11/24/2013 10:38 am IMO, it looks like it was suffering from verdigris or some other gunk that was then removed via acetone or another harmless agent. I believe what we are seeing is what was underneath the gunk after removal. Report this Post to the Staff
