My other "tray of shame" (second of two) pickup from today. Ever so slightly better date, and again for as little as was being asked for it, I just couldn't let it remain an orphan.

Nothing to be ashamed about with that one.

Solid mid AU, maybe not ashamed, but at least a little guilty
Rest in Peace

You are correct LC, no visible signs of wear so I would wager AU58 at the very least. Great pick for the price!

Maybe an abraded area on the hair above her ear, but not much else I can detect.

I think this is one of those coins that with a judicious dip becomes a blazer that then everybody gets lustful for. The one worry I have with this specimen is the bit of dark toning around the date and stars that suggests to me that it may have once aready taken a blue bath, and while the surfaces right now aren't showing that any previous treatment was overdone, it might be be akin to finding out how many lives the cat has left. So I'm not inclined to try and make this one "better."

Probably a wise choice. Sometimes it's best to leave sleeping dogs lie.
