This 1934 10 cents is the first example of the type I have owned (my others are all the sailboat type.)
I paid $2.15 (US) which seemed fairly reasonable for this little coin.
It is difficult to see in the pictures but there is a bit of luster remaining around the lettering in places and around parts of the wreath leaves on the reverse. There is toning on both sides, more so the obverse. I have not tried an acetone rinse.
Does this make EF or is this a VF or Fine coin? I do not know how to grade these.
Two sets of pictures. First is with direct LED lighting, 2nd is with room lighting only. Toning is closer to the 2nd set of pictures.
Thank you!
