tbolts10 Valued Member United States 194 Posts	Posted 04/01/2015 11:38 am Any opinions on this one I just picked up? I know it's not pretty, but it's my first CC coin so I'm happy with it. Should I give it an acetone bath or let it be? Thanks in advance Report this Post to the Staff

Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 04/01/2015 3:22 pm I like it at XF40 (45 is not out of the question, though), and would also leave it alone. Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 04/01/2015 4:32 pm Acetone won't help this patina; best to let it be. For anyone playing along, I'm sticking my neck out and calling this VAM-2B. If I'm wrong, tell me why and if I'm right tell me how I did it. Report this Post to the Staff
Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 04/01/2015 4:59 pm Ohhh... ... pick me, pick me, pick me SD -I'm going with the faint shadow of the wheat leaf die chip paired with a long nock? Or if it was a play on words I'd say the crack at neck v? Edited by Cascade 04/01/2015 5:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff
tbolts10 Valued Member United States 194 Posts	Posted 04/01/2015 5:06 pm So I understand the whole variety thing somewhat but what exactly does it mean for the coin? Does it add value or is it just cool that it is a variety? Report this Post to the Staff
Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 04/01/2015 5:21 pm Are u ready to have your mind blown... They are ALL varieties! Every single morgan is a VAM, some add little value and a few can add many thousands bUT most dont add any eXtra value... I'll let SD explain Report this Post to the Staff

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 04/01/2015 9:41 pm Yeah, I topped out at 35 myself when I looked at it earlier today and...no acetone required unless there is some green goo that we're not seeing in your photos. Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 04/01/2015 9:54 pm VF25 Leave that patina. Remove it and you'll basically ruin the coin. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
