mysilveryears Pillar of the Community United States 1888 Posts	Posted 12/19/2015 10:05 pm I am no expert on these so any and all comments are welcome. It appears to be the small date variety. It has some nice bluish toning that has rubbed off the high spots. For the price paid I am just keeping my fingers crossed that it was not made of alienware by Huttonese coolies living in remote jungle shacks.. .. Thanks for looking in.

edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 12/19/2015 11:35 pm Correct on the small date. Questionable color, but very little wear. Also some minor porosity. I'll say AU details, and wait for others. Report this Post to the Staff

amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 12/20/2015 12:00 am AU. If it were mine.I would through it in acetone to see what happens. I think, however, you may just find a harshly cleaned coin.....? Edited by amida17 12/20/2015 12:02 am Report this Post to the Staff

mysilveryears Pillar of the Community United States 1888 Posts	Posted 12/20/2015 11:03 am Thanks, folks. I did give it a careful acetone cleaning, but that did not change it to any noticeable degree. I am quite happy with the 'AU' consensus, to say the least. Report this Post to the Staff
