I think it has enough hair detail for au50. typical strike weakness to the left of the bow in the wreath. nice coin. I would soak in acetone and maybe soak in verdicare for the green just in case it is corrosive.

Thanks guys. I felt it was a bit better than the VF it was listed as.  I'll put it in acetone for a bit and hope for the best then. |

Can't go any higher than XF-45 because of the lack of luster, however I would also say no lower than XF-45. Extremely nice coin!

Close to AU-50. Dirty AUs are my favorite. Nice coin!

Very nice Wizardnyc and thank you  I soaked mine for about 30 minutes and the black stuff in the upper left came off. Could've left it in longer but it looks much better now  Definitely a beautiful coin. |

Verdi-care is on my list of things to get, but it always seems back ordered everywhere.  |

Thanks Ham1947. I use a scuffed old Nexus 7 tablet. Took me a while to get it close to how I want it to look. I just have to work on my lighting more. For the closeups I use a trash can $20 USB microscope that doesn't want to work most of the time. I wish that could take pictures of the whole coin but honestly what you see is as far out as I can get it. It takes like 20 minutes to get decent photos that I'm comfortable with posting.  |

It has a nice die crack on the reverse too. I'm afraid to do anything to it but I was wondering it acetone might remove some of the green spots on it, or is it stuck on there for good? I'd rather keep them than mess up the look of the coin. Still has good eye appeal to me regardless. Thanks guys.
