supgog Pillar of the Community Israel 2420 Posts	Posted 12/08/2013 12:31 pm with VG10, but not sure about the surfaces of the coin. Is it pitted? Report this Post to the Staff
amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 12/08/2013 12:36 pm Not pitted. Just a bad photo. It sat in acetone for several weeks to get to this point. The obverse was three quarters covered in a black, tarry substance. I am more than happy with my conservation efforts. Should have taken a before pic . Report this Post to the Staff
rachums107 Pillar of the Community United States 3345 Posts	Posted 12/08/2013 12:46 pm Very nice restoration job then! Any pictures of the original? I'd say 10/70 makes sense Report this Post to the Staff
zxcccxz Pillar of the Community Canada 5417 Posts	Posted 12/08/2013 2:17 pm Hmm the obverse looks VG-08 but the reverse looks F-15 so I'll settle at F-12. Report this Post to the Staff

Thundercoin Pillar of the Community United States 675 Posts	Posted 12/08/2013 7:17 pm I think I can convince myself that this is F-12. I can see 6-letters clearly and a hint of the 'E'. The reverse is stronger than the obverse so I think that pushes it to F-12... if not than it is VG-11.5! LOL! Report this Post to the Staff
