XavierOfGreen Pillar of the Community United States 2589 Posts	Posted 05/16/2017 8:52 pm I bought this as part of a foreign lot that was caked in pvc several months ago and finally got around to soaking this coin in acetone. This one had a pretty thin film on it compared to several other coins in the lot. Anyone care to take a guess at a grade? Report this Post to the Staff

Paulsz Pillar of the Community Canada 2187 Posts	Posted 05/16/2017 9:52 pm Are these scans? The coin looks nice, like an AU coin. But I think pics under different lighting will give us a better view of the coin's overall condition. Report this Post to the Staff

AgCoinAu Pillar of the Community Canada 3049 Posts	Posted 05/17/2017 2:03 pm An MS coin can be restored to MS state ... but you cannot get a coin and upgrade it using restorative practices.... Grade is established due to the amount of wear on the coin... I agree with the camp of people that are in the high EF to AU range. Although the coin has a bit of a "cleaned" look to it right now ... perhaps that's just the lighting or the pics used were from a scan.... If this coin shows the way it's pictured I'd say hang onto it for awhile and let it turn a nice chocolate brown and it will be a very nice piece IMO. Report this Post to the Staff
okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5586 Posts	Posted 05/17/2017 3:59 pm There is wear in the hair and eyebrow, so AU, but the cleaning may take it down a notch. Report this Post to the Staff
DEVLEC Pillar of the Community Canada 3234 Posts	Posted 05/17/2017 4:01 pm The colour might be off a bit for me in the fields on both sides. Maybe the on coming light is at a very steep angle and gives back a bit of shine on the details in the middle. At least high AU when looking at the eyelid which shows perfect and not a touch on it.. Hey Okie..we're hitting the same coins at the same time.. . Edited by DEVLEC 05/17/2017 4:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff
