RK55 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 07/10/2014 1:53 pm The gold series seems to be the toughest for me to grade when it comes to AU/Unc coins. Your thoughts on Grade are appreciated as always! RK 1903-P $5. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 07/10/2014 2:28 pm It appears to be a slider that would likely grade low MS. The tarnish/toning is a bit of a concern on gold as it could be contamination that might lead to environmental damage. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
RK55 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 07/10/2014 2:42 pm BH1964, is there any safe way to remove the tarnish without affecting the coin? The coin was in an old plastic flip, unstapled. Report this Post to the Staff
johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 07/10/2014 5:17 pm Not sure you can remove that toning without hurting the coin. I'd leave it alone. Overall it is a nice coin, doesn't appear to be cleaned and no significant hits. I'd say quality AU55. Report this Post to the Staff

DoubleEagle20 Pillar of the Community United States 1748 Posts	Posted 07/10/2014 11:00 pm I'd say AU-58 from the pics of it. The reddish toned regions are a bit higher in copper. Leave the coin as is, IMO. Edited by DoubleEagle20 07/10/2014 11:15 pm Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 07/10/2014 11:44 pm Yes, if they're carbon spots then leave them alone as there's nothing you can do and it's probably best to do nothing if you don't have conserving experience. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
