kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 09/06/2022 08:39 am Quote: Needs a 100% pure acetone bath? IMO it's already had a bath. As for its grade, IMO it's more like XF-40. And DETAILS if it's been cleaned other than an acetone dip. Edited by kanga 09/06/2022 08:42 am Report this Post to the Staff

IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36575 Posts	Posted 09/06/2022 09:48 am AU details, environmental damage. I think the dark spots have eaten into the surface. Report this Post to the Staff

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 09/06/2022 11:10 am It looks like the PVC damage around FIVE has etched into the surface. I would pass if this is not yet yours. Report this Post to the Staff

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 09/06/2022 11:43 am Not hardly worth the hassle to return it based on the purchase price. I would consider it inexpensive tuition towards your numismatic education. And at this point an acetone dip would not hurt it. Edited by dave700x 09/06/2022 11:45 am Report this Post to the Staff
T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 09/06/2022 4:35 pm I'm sorry but I have to call this coin as I see it . That's not very good . Besides the verdigris and corrosion on reverse the coin looks like it spent a month in pure bleach . As far as wear goes , it's only very little . AU-58 Details . Report this Post to the Staff
