I just won this coin on e-bay. Would like feedback. Also, do you think the coin may benefit from acetone bath? Thanks.   |

I doubt acetone would do much for this coin but it wouldn't hurt to try. I think it has environmental damage. I can't make out the date so I would say fine-details ED.

Agree, no harm in trying, but I don't have much hope for this one.

Looks like it was in an encasement at one time as a piece of jewelry making it nothing more than a details coin.

As much as I've tried I just cant find any redeeming features for this piece.
Fine, details, damage.

Coinfrog, I thought the coin was a good buy at $14.00,given the details it shows. I have a couple of more common dates in so-so condition that I will probably sell now. I have a buyer for my castoffs. In this way I try to upgrade my collection. I certainly would welcome frank comments from anyone on the price. It might help me in the future. Thanks.

14.00 was a good buy. I would try some pure acetone on this one too.
