An inexpensive addition to my collection. What do you think it will grade? Do you think it would benefit from an acetone bath? Thanks, Blair  |

au50. Looks like a lot of black substance on the surface that may be corroding the coin underneath.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

EF-45 , Will benefit from an Acetone soak (24 hours) and then a good Verdi-Care application .  |

Agree EF-45. Verdi-care may do the job but leave a different sort of discoloration underneath.

 with the Frog. Acetone won't hurt but anything else may expose more problems. |

EF40. There is too much wear on the top head feathers for a 45. You can use Verdi-Care on it, as the others noted, but the likely result will be blotchy areas of discoloration regardless.

Thanks everyone! It will get a acetone bath as soon as I have it in hand. I don't have verdi-care.

Got it today and I think it's better than the auction photos showed:   It's sitting in acetone now. We'll see tomorrow. |
