Pete41 Valued Member United States 261 Posts	Posted 12/17/2014 6:26 pm My first post in ages. I came across this one in some coins my wife got from her mother. The color is a billiant red orange and I haven't been able to figure out yet how to capture it. It also has great luster and cartwheel. It does have some spots as seen in the pics. How would it grade. Thanks Pete41 Edited by Pete41 12/17/2014 7:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff

ksmcents Valued Member United States 306 Posts	Posted 12/17/2014 8:36 pm 63RD IMHO...too many distracting spots and some weakness in the strike on the reverse...(none of which matters to some TPG's, I could see 64RD for them) Report this Post to the Staff

Pete41 Valued Member United States 261 Posts	Posted 12/17/2014 9:59 pm Thanks all for the responses. I wasn't sure what affect the spots have. Can they be removed with mineral oil. Report this Post to the Staff

Pete41 Valued Member United States 261 Posts	Posted 12/18/2014 10:12 am I found my answer about removing the black/carbon spots from coins, Don't. More harm than good caused. Report this Post to the Staff
