mtuma3 Pillar of the Community United States 744 Posts	Posted 05/21/2020 11:57 pm Looks like it had a lot of natural environmental damage, then someone dipped it in TarnX for something acidy to try and clean it... Mark ANA Member My7070 Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21789 Posts	Posted 05/22/2020 12:27 am A third party slab grader wouldn't touch this coin, a basement slabber may do. So it is up to us. AG-04. (damaged), also has been bashed, bent and harshly cleaned. May have spent some time buried. Nevertheless, I would be perfectly happy to have it in my collection anyway. Report this Post to the Staff

fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4992 Posts	Posted 05/22/2020 09:20 am Grade is not relevant, severe environmental damage. Probably still has some value but it would be massively less than a clean AG-3 example. Report this Post to the Staff
