Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 02/09/2022 6:44 pm Here's another coin owned by my 97 year old father-in-law. This one I did remove from his original holder since he had it in a nickel-sized paper holder which was too small for the coin. There is a mark next to the 1 in the date and fly specks on the hair. It has full luster. He bought this in October 1986 and paid $250 for it. Paul Bulgerin Edited by Paul Bulgerin 02/09/2022 11:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff

pristine2 Pillar of the Community United States 1048 Posts	Posted 02/10/2022 07:37 am I think it is fabulous coin. Not really scarce in AU, but a desirable date nonetheless. Those gobs in the hair can be minimized, though maybe not entirely removed, through conservation. While strictly applied math would say it isn't worth slabbing, the fact that it has already been in the family for 35 years means some special care might be warranted. Personally I'd send it in for grading and conservation. If you do, I'd bet it comes back AU-58. Edited by pristine2 02/10/2022 07:38 am Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18706 Posts	Posted 02/10/2022 10:22 am AU58 i like it. looks like some type of dirt imbedded. I would acetone soak this and it may come off. I dont work with gold so maybe someone else knows better Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6396 Posts	Posted 02/13/2022 01:56 am AU-58, original, and attractive. I agree an acetone soak couldn't hurt. If it doesn't come off on its own, the dirt can likely be dislodged by gently poking with a toothpick. Report this Post to the Staff

fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 02/15/2022 7:42 pm Slider. AU-58 to MS-62 range. Luster is fantastic, which has me leaning a bit more toward the MS-62 end of that range. Report this Post to the Staff
