jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4691 Posts	Posted 07/14/2018 8:58 pm This is a tough coin to photograph since it has semi-prooflike surfaces. Weakness in the "IN" on the reverse (probably a worn or overpolished die). Probably cleaned at one time, now re-toning. The small dark spots on the obverse right are not pits, just surface spots. Is it worth trying to get into a no-problem TPG holder? Edited by jimbucks 07/14/2018 9:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff

basebal21 Bedrock of the Community 13014 Posts	Posted 07/14/2018 11:38 pm Au/uncir details grade wouldn't be the worst thing ever for tha one. You can see it the best if it's lusterous yea I'd give it a go. The spotting shouldn't be enough for details grades on their own but will probably knock it down a grade. It's hard to say for sure from the pics as some look bad and others look like there could be luster Report this Post to the Staff

okiepb Pillar of the Community United States 1213 Posts	Posted 07/15/2018 3:31 pm I'd send it in if it were mine. It appears to have a bit of luster on it. Report this Post to the Staff

SilverDollar2017 Pillar of the Community United States 8715 Posts	Posted 07/16/2018 12:50 pm Can't tell if there's luster from these pics. I'm pretty sure it's been cleaned and has retoned since then, hence the "prooflike" (actually reflective from being dipped) surfaces. But if it has good luster and actual prooflike surfaces then send it to a TPG. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 07/17/2018 5:02 pm The PL surfaces are not from being cleaned. As far as the picture I think it needs more lighting and diffuse the lights to avoid the hot spots/reflections. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/19/2018 5:14 pm Personally, I don't care for the somewhat blotchy coloring on this, and would not spend even more money trying to "dress it up". Report this Post to the Staff
