Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 11/19/2019 1:17 pm Right, can we get more light on the surfaces? Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5668 Posts	Posted 11/19/2019 1:44 pm The coin is fairly dark, but here are some new photos with more light. Report this Post to the Staff
numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11880 Posts	Posted 11/19/2019 2:07 pm It looks ms64bn but there are two small spots that look green on the cheek behind the mouth that look problematic. If the spots have eaten into the metal, then details corroded. Edited by numismatic student 11/19/2019 2:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff
CitationSquirrel Pillar of the Community United States 1026 Posts	Posted 11/19/2019 2:52 pm I'll go with MS65. But some of that may just be lighting. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 11/19/2019 3:26 pm I'm concerned about ED as well, in addition to the unnatural coloring. Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18660 Posts	Posted 11/20/2019 10:21 am i'd be tempted to acetone and/or verdicare this coin to see what happens with the two spots on the cheek. if it cleans up then MS64BN if not then UNC details Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5668 Posts	Posted 11/20/2019 1:09 pm The color looks natural in hand. In fact, there is a trace of red mint luster hugging the devices. Hard to tell if the verdigris spots have underlying corrosion. It might be worth a shot at VerdiCare. If I do that, I'll post new pictures. Report this Post to the Staff
