paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 12/23/2015 11:06 am I'm not westcoin, but I see an 1865 with the partial serif on the D in UNITED, clashed die reverse, Longacre doubling on the reverse legend, and a possible recut 5 in the date. See if some acetone or verdi-care wouldn't work a treat here on that reverse spot and the obverse in general. It's hard to distinguish between circulation rub, weak strikes, and rusted dies on these coins; westcoin can probably clarify which one(s) apply here; same in regards to the color; to my inexpert eyes, I would say it's either AU58 (if it has seen any actual rub) or MS63RB (otherwise) Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D.

CSOTUS Pillar of the Community 1153 Posts	Posted 12/23/2015 4:13 pm I say easy mid to high AU, not familiar enough with the dark spots so not sure if it would be details grade or not. Report this Post to the Staff

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 12/23/2015 7:47 pm Very nice looking, a touch of verdigris and some old spotting hold this one back a bit. I agree with everything Paralyse said, except I don't know if it would go MS63. I have a very similar looking one that is in a NGC UNC details holder, more like MS62, with a possibility of AU58 if light rub is indeed on the high points, - really need to see in hand to tell, the photos are quite good, but it's just about impossible to see high point rubbing with out the 3D viewing and a good light. The coin does have an appearance of a light restoration cleaning, but not bad at all. I'd call it UNC details, Improperly cleaned (as I think NGC would) however, the coin (IMO) is not really improperly cleaned, it's about as good as could be expected considering there was probably a lot of dark gunk on the surfaces originally. Love the clashing! You can see the "2" through the shield on the obverse nicely. Defintely a RPD too. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!
