Hm I also have the air-tite dilemma with a Libertad I put in there. Hope I can get it out safely. Anyways in my novice opinion it seems XF details. The cleaning seems a little too harsh for my tastes. Good luck!

AU50 Details. for sure cleaned but the reverse is pretty bad and will significantly lower it value.

AU Details

I would look for a better example.

 . This is a common date of a common type. Unless this were just dirt cheap at $40-$50 I wouldn't consider it, and even then I'd have to think twice. Once you put these coins in your collection you wish you had waited for a better example every time you see it. At least I have. |

Another AU50 details and would probably pass on it. In addition to the cleaning, it looks pretty badly scratched at around 2:00 on the reverse. Sometimes they look worse in a close up photo, so maybe it is better in hand.

I don't like this coin to be blunt. Has a strong cleaned look and those scratches put it in the "no" column for me.

GR58, a no luster coin. Interesting pictures though.
You used your IPad. What was your set-up?

I ended up buying this coIn in a bundle of thre half dollars. Learned that from Frank  By buying all three together .. made this a very low price. ------------------------ For the picture. There is good light coming through the windows of the LCS. One LED light coming at ..about 45 degree Cropped it with app PS Express Used CCF Optimizer to get the file size down Sometimes I get lucky. I do need to say .. this coin looks much better in hand than the pictures |

Don't really like this one. XF/AU-Details. It would have to be a real bargain to overcome the glaring problems.
