What a difference! I should have taken a before pic. Bought it on a feeling. Did the acetone soak/rinse/rinse. There was gunk in the acetone after the soak.

The eagle is weak as always and the cap looks very nice for the issue. Fields are almost proof like. Saw five marks under stereo microscope. The pic. is slightly out of focus.

Nice pickup. Beautiful design on the Hooknecks, a full set, all denominations, would be a great collection.

That looks like a nice coin, super original. I guess it was really covered in gunk before acetone bath.
