numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11898 Posts	Posted 05/28/2018 3:22 pm looks pretty nice for a dug coin. the obverse looks xf40, but the coin is limited by a weaker reverse that looks vf25. I would say about net vf30. although you cleaned the coin, it does not show the markers of a cleaned coin and I think it would grade straight (not cleaned). nice find Report this Post to the Staff
T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 05/28/2018 4:50 pm Have to admit ,it does not look like a cleaned coin . Fortunately most silver coins come out of the ground like the day they were lost . You have a nice circulated WLH . Report this Post to the Staff

two_tonevf35 Pillar of the Community United States 719 Posts	Posted 05/30/2018 12:00 am Any silver metal detecting is a score, and wow what a find there! Choice VF WLH and you didn't scratch it with your dig tool. "Cleanings" can come in so many forms; soap and water soak without rubbing, just blotting or letting air dry after distilled water to get the soap off usually doesn't lower market value since it doesn't affect the patina (tarnish/toning/etc.) Congrats again!

jstav Valued Member United States 179 Posts	Posted 06/01/2018 5:33 pm Wow, almost inspires me to try metal detecting, thanks for showing! I ponder what it looked like when it first was lost, I feel like it had to be at least shiny :) Report this Post to the Staff
