I just mailed this off to ANACS along with what I think is a mint state 1893 colombian half. According to anacs grading time should be 15 days, so I expect to have them back a couple days before august.

Here are the pictures after my conservation. I soaked it for over 16 hours in acetone, rinsed it, then treated each side with verdicare for about 2 hours and 30 mins. To be honest I don't see much difference other than the obverse being slightly brighter.

That.. is a great looking coin XOG, I called it EF45 I'm changing my grade to AU-50/53
I'll bet it looks great in hand.

Thanks! Its part of a collection I'm selling on commission for a friend. After looking at the 5 NGC graded AU 50's David Lawrence has up for sale on ebay, I'm going to predict that this comes back at a 50 or a 53 but we'll see how ANACS compares in their grading of these

Well, good luck anyway. Even if your work didn't help much, it's a nice-looking example.

In your photos it doesn't look cleaned but an even brownish color.
But, I suppose in hand they must see light scratches.

AU-50 for this coin is pretty nice though.
