CoinAdvocate Valued Member United States 141 Posts	Posted 05/30/2018 5:42 pm Hey guys picked up a Half Cent and was wondering how you all would grade it. It has a little bit of deterioration around the crown but is in decent shape other than that. Sorry the images are a little off-rotation I'm having issues with getting my new scanner to center things. Thanks everyone CoinAdvocate It is not enough to merely enjoy coins; one must Advocate for them! Report this Post to the Staff

Mark1959 Pillar of the Community 7234 Posts	Posted 05/30/2018 9:57 pm Give it a soak in acetone then a Verdi-Care treatment - may help take care of the verdigris as it doesn't look that bad. Report this Post to the Staff
