johnny676767 Pillar of the Community United States 521 Posts	Posted 01/31/2015 6:02 pm Hello, I bought this on an online auction for $49. The pictures showed dark areas but in hand those areas are green verdigris: small spots, though. Of concern: Obverse- "A" in "America" and "N" in "United". Reverse: "N" in "One" I like the strike and color but I am worried about those spots. I read the PCGS guarantee and, evidently, their guarantee doesn't extend to copper color (toning) and surface corrosion issues. I have heard about these early PCGS "rattlers" I think they are called.And, yes, it does rattle. To be honest I thought I could trust a coin at 63 in this type of holder. Anyway, I figure my options are: 1. Return (I do have that option). 2. Crack it open and try to conserve it with my little bottle of Verdicare (sp?) : Honestly, I haven't had much more success with this stuff than q-tipping with acetone. 3. Send it into a TPG (or back to PCGS- although that may be out because I am not a member) and have it conserved. But by the time I do all that I may be spending more than the coin is worth, especially if the verdigris is deep. So, here are some pics: the best I can do. Photography in a holder sure is another issue altogether. What do you think? Report this Post to the Staff
