numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11901 Posts	Posted 12/09/2017 4:56 pm Picked this up today for $55 thinking it made VF details (corrosion). This is a very common date - and therefore affordable . There is verdigris on stars 9 and 13. It looks like it has corroded into the metal. Found it attractive in spite of the verdigris. I would appreciate thoughts on how to remediate. As always, your thoughts on grade and problems are greatly appreciated. Thanks! 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."

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 12/09/2017 5:52 pm I agree with VF details. Nothing could be done that would improve it. This one is a bit like the happiest time for a boat owner. The day you buy it and the day you sell it. Report this Post to the Staff
