CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 03/22/2019 7:40 pm I have posted about this coin before, but with my new camera set up I was hoping I may be able to get a better grade. I found this in a "dateless" buffalo tray at a coin shop. I bought a large amount to take home, and noticed he hadn't checked very well for dates. This coin looks much better in hand, and the date is still nicely legible. Hoping to reach that G-04 mark. It may not reach that high but it`s worth a shot. Thank you or your time. -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 03/22/2019 8:36 pm Thanks to both of you, but how can you tell that it's been acid treated? I thought the date would show a much lighter color? -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff
westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7618 Posts	Posted 03/22/2019 10:34 pm The etched look of the date area of the coin is what tells ms it has been acid treated. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 03/22/2019 10:49 pm Thank you. I could always tell by the discoloration. Guess this is a more efficient way. Thank you for the explanation! -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 03/23/2019 09:29 am Not sure it's been acid treated, but in my book it would be AG at best. Edited by Coinfrog 03/23/2019 09:30 am Report this Post to the Staff
