johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 06/24/2014 4:10 pm Had this one for a while. This is a dirty grungy piece of crust.No corrosion...just straight up grime, and not the kind that is easily removed. Maybe I should try a long acetone soak? No luster showing on the reverse, but there are pieces of cartwheel luster showing only in areas where the grunge subsides on the obverse. Interesting coin. I found this in my late fathers collection, and used it as an upgrade in my own. Report this Post to the Staff

supgog Pillar of the Community Israel 2420 Posts	Posted 06/24/2014 5:57 pm I think I see wear. Both and the obverse and on the shield at the reverse. AU55 for me. Report this Post to the Staff
kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 06/24/2014 6:21 pm Not a pretty coin but I don't see any problems. I think MS-63 is reasonable. Report this Post to the Staff
johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 06/24/2014 6:26 pm thanks for the comments. You all see the coin in a better light than I do. I dont really see obvious wear either, but the reverse has no luster...period. I am not sure if it is hidden because of the grunge or what....but I have a hard time seeing an IHC make MS with a completely lackluster reverse. There is enough luster peeking through at 2oclock and at 10oclock to make me think that it is at least a high grade coin that hasnt been harshly scrubbed or anything. Though I hesitate to give it a grade, as I'm just not sure.....as it sits I see it being worth no more than AU50 money. It still fits fine in my set though, that is currently vf30 minimum.
