Stephen-P Valued Member Japan 294 Posts	Posted 04/05/2020 09:31 am Rescued this Walking Liberty "missing designer initials" from an old PVC flip. Green spots are starting to appear around some of the edges and liberty's neck, so I'm thinking about sending it in for Restoration. Thoughts on the grade? Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/05/2020 09:37 am Not the best images to grade from, but I'll say MS-63. Report this Post to the Staff
Stephen-P Valued Member Japan 294 Posts	Posted 04/05/2020 09:43 am Thanks Coinfrog. I was thinking the same thing... Also hoping the restoration might boost it to a 64. The price difference between the two grades is pretty significant. Report this Post to the Staff
Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4469 Posts	Posted 04/05/2020 09:48 am MS63 The coin value is not worth sending in for restoration unless it can grade above MS65. I would recommend soaking the coin in pure acetone for a few hours to get rid of the green spots and let it air dry. It looks like a nice example. Report this Post to the Staff

Stephen-P Valued Member Japan 294 Posts	Posted 04/05/2020 12:18 pm Thanks for the input Slider. I should have put it in my title but this is the FS-901 variety where the designer's initials are all but missing. It'd be worth it to restore even at a 63 grade. The third picture is a 66 from PCGS's website: Edited by Stephen-P 04/05/2020 12:25 pm Report this Post to the Staff
