Had a few ebay bucks that needed spending. Main listing photos weren't great, but seller had better photos farther down. Might give it a VerdiCare soak to try and stop any active stuff, but not sure how hard I want to work on the spot, might do more damage. Thoughts on grade? Thanks. 372200159351  |

@EW, I'm no good at grading, so I'll give you a drool emoji instead!  "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Way out of my league, but I'd have to think VF or better. Verdi-care would probably help but I fear it would leave a lighter discoloration behind.

surfaces are great for the most part, but the spot you point out has significant corrosion. vf details corroded. still a great example.
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."

Let us know what you're going to do. I'm glad it's not my decision.  |

A little verdicare soak certainly won't hurt it, and might stop further spread. Don't think I'll pick at it though. Another option is just to resell as is.

Thanks, was hoping someone would say that. It actually looks a bit better in hand. There is complete separation between all the rays. Imo it makes XF.
