Imthealphaomega Pillar of the Community United States 3210 Posts	Posted 12/16/2017 3:24 pm Got this for $100. I'm thinking xf. This coin was very dark and had gunk. A acetone rinse and a light ms70 wash with qtips got a lot of the contaminants off. Thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

Imthealphaomega Pillar of the Community United States 3210 Posts	Posted 12/16/2017 4:43 pm Any thoughts on grade and originality? May have been cleaned long ago but aged well Report this Post to the Staff
bandsdean Pillar of the Community United States 2125 Posts	Posted 12/16/2017 5:01 pm First thought it was VF-30. Perhaps there is better hair detail if taken at a different angle? Looks original to me. Report this Post to the Staff
Joe2007 Pillar of the Community United States 3843 Posts	Posted 12/16/2017 6:44 pm Imo it is knocking on the door of XF. The reverse shows a considerable amount of detail on the right wing. Unsure if it original or not. Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18657 Posts	Posted 12/17/2017 11:53 am i agree really close to XF40 Report this Post to the Staff
Imthealphaomega Pillar of the Community United States 3210 Posts	Posted 12/17/2017 1:19 pm The coin was almost black it looks way better now. It must've been in a very damp and dirty area, thankfully the ms70 didn't strip off the nice patina, only the grime and the acetone helped the second layer too. This now resides in my type set.

TypeCoin971793 Pillar of the Community United States 6370 Posts	Posted 12/20/2017 08:58 am My first thought was VF-30, but I see nothing to disagree with the previous posters. Nice buy for $100! Report this Post to the Staff
Prethen Pillar of the Community United States 3234 Posts	Posted 12/20/2017 09:15 am I agree with the above assessment...VF30...maybe 35 due to overall eye appeal. Report this Post to the Staff
Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 12/20/2017 10:24 am The wear on Liberty's hair says VF-30 to me, but the eagle's feathers are a definite XF. It has a very nice look to it. Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff
