Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3332 Posts	Posted 10/14/2018 2:28 pm I'd go about 62/63 on this one. If it was in my possession, it would go straight into acetone ASAP. "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae Report this Post to the Staff

Rabbithole1 Pillar of the Community United States 520 Posts	Posted 10/14/2018 2:41 pm I really like the toning, so I want to make sure the acetone wont change the look of the obverse. How long would you recommend leaving it in acetone? And thanks for both of your replies:) Report this Post to the Staff
Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3332 Posts	Posted 10/14/2018 2:46 pm I was a little wary of the crud on top of the obverse and the spotting on rev, thinking those may cause corrosion if not removed. I can't say how acetone would affect the toning. I would wait for someone with more experience with toned coins to offer opinion.

ty88ty2 Pillar of the Community United States 772 Posts	Posted 10/14/2018 3:00 pm The obverse picture is a little out of focus, but I am leaning towards AU-58. It looks like the high points on the Obverse have rub marks. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 10/14/2018 3:11 pm In this case I agree Verdi Care would be ideal since the obverse coloring might blend well with possible after effects of ED removal. If it comes clean, given the obverse, it's got a shot at 64RB. Report this Post to the Staff
