NumisEd Pillar of the Community United States 5192 Posts	Posted 03/02/2021 8:49 pm What kinda of spots are those? Did you try acetone soak? Ignoring the spots for now and not seeing any luster, I think this coin is AU55. Edited by NumisEd 03/02/2021 8:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff

smithersscope New Member United States 16 Posts	Posted 03/02/2021 8:58 pm Thanks NE, I have not tried acetone yet. I'm not sure about the spots, but it looks like corrosion at higher mag, but doesn't penetrate. The spots are only on the obverse, so it looks like something splashed on the coin at some point. May try an acetone soak--see what happens. Much obliged! Report this Post to the Staff

smithersscope New Member United States 16 Posts	Posted 03/03/2021 5:15 pm Thanks everyone for the feedback here and grading. I posted this and another Morgan yesterday. This one doesn't have the luster of the first, so I wasn't surprised at the AU ratings. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff
