Lyle Kruse Valued Member United States 256 Posts	Posted 02/13/2014 9:39 pm Looks like it could use a soak in acetone, other than that I don't see anything wrong with it, but I'm no expert so don't take my word Report this Post to the Staff

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 02/14/2014 06:50 am I wouldn't call this coin "problem free" It appears to have light corrosion, very light but still... No way a TPG doesn't detail a coin like this due to environmental issues IMO. Still not a bad example though and around $40.00 a fair enough price. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.

yhbearcats Pillar of the Community United States 688 Posts	Posted 02/14/2014 11:25 am Those were my thoughts as well westcoin. It appears to be very light corrosion and I concur that a TPG would give it a "details" grade. I was interested in it because it appears to be the "Tall date" or "Narrow Date" variety of the coin and worth 4 times as much as a normal date. However, I'm not interested if it is a details coin Report this Post to the Staff
