Picked this one off ebay for 27 bucks the other day. Had no luster due to the pvc film on it when it arrived, the flip was even ultra sticky. Acetone bath followed by Verdicare revealed a coin far better than expected. PS. Thanks for releasing more VerdiCare BadThad! Opinions?   |

Quite a strike. Not less than AU-58. Tell us about the luster.

pics are blurry here too, I think that's due in part to their excessive size, smaller would be better

The pics posted are better than most we see. Yes, a minor improvement could be made, but they're not bad. The '26 S is known for their soft(er) strikes. I'm in with low AU--perhaps 50-52.

KYCopperCoins, Have you tries one of those clip-on magnifiers? John1 |

Perhaps I was too liberal given the curb appeal of this coin, but still feel it is a solid AU.

I've tried the clip on magnifiers, but when you have a phone case they tend to be kind of lame, plus the newer phones have like 3 camera lenses and it gets annoying...I rushed the photos or they wouldn't be so bleh, to be honest.

AU53 I think the surfaces are a little too dull to make 55. overall a pleasing coin
