Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 08/02/2021 7:46 pm Spotted this today in a shop's unsorted material, & picked it up as such for a pittance. Pretty even dark brown toning on the obverse, with perhaps just the tiniest traces of original luster on the reverse (note the die crack at about 4 o'clock). Minimal wear to my eye. What numerical grade would you assign to it? Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff

okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5589 Posts	Posted 08/02/2021 8:33 pm Wearwise, I'd say XF+, but whatever is on/in Regina may make it a details coin. Nice pick-up. It wouldn't take too much to make AU. Report this Post to the Staff

Subsequently, the lightest dab with a cotton swab soaked in distilled water totally removed that white stuff. I have no concerns whatsoever about its being "details" annotated.

Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 08/06/2021 3:44 pm Here's the obverse again after a distilled water rinse. I'm hard pressed to see what would prevent this example from certifying with a clean grade in the AU range. Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff

okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5589 Posts	Posted 08/06/2021 8:04 pm Even at AU, It would cost more to certify it than the coin would ever be worth. I think that it's now an XF+ grade, no details. Report this Post to the Staff
