Do you agree or have a different reason the appearance of the coin? Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 11/09/2015 4:34 pm Acetone will not remove toning or corrosion and it should definitely not cause anything resembling environmental damage on a coin. It is hard to see what exactly is going on with the coin, the scan is pixelated and distorted. Report this Post to the Staff

Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4469 Posts	Posted 11/09/2015 5:04 pm This coin was up for auction today on ebay and it sold for a little over $10. I was a little surprised of the hammer price considering the look of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

If the seller can't do better pics than that he/she should not be selling online at all. There are a lot of coins on sale so why buy something like that unless there is some inside info on the true likeness of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
