panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18657 Posts	Posted 01/27/2023 10:19 am i'll go with XF45. it looks like someone rubbed the coin in a couple places down to the original surfaces attempting to get all the grime off. not sure how a TPG would treat this as a cleaning or not.

CoinEnthusiast Valued Member United States 485 Posts	Posted 01/27/2023 10:29 am XF-details (cleaned). It appears to have been rubbed near the date area, LIBERTY headband, and the talons. Is this coin bent at all looking at it in hand? Report this Post to the Staff
jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 01/27/2023 10:33 am An XF-45 should have luster. This looks XF-40 at most, especially considering those unnatural rubs.

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18657 Posts	Posted 01/27/2023 10:35 am it doesn't appear there is any damage from the rubbed areas. I would be inclined to acetone it to see if it removes the crud and makes it less noticeable Report this Post to the Staff
Ploopy Pillar of the Community United States 1788 Posts	Posted 01/27/2023 11:03 am XF45. Is the obverse that naturally dark? If so, it is a little concerning. Would like some extra pics. Report this Post to the Staff

adam126402 Pillar of the Community United States 878 Posts	Posted 01/27/2023 8:14 pm Thanks everyone for the feedback. To CoinEnthusiast, no it is not bent. I did think the surface was questionable but ultimately wanted a type coin with solid details for an album collection, hence didn't want to breakout a holdered coin. I looked at the apparent rubbed areas under magnification up to 14x and didn't see anything obvious. Have not tried an acetone dip, might do that in the near future. Report this Post to the Staff

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 01/28/2023 09:38 am I'd leave it as is and not attempt even acetone on it. I think the super-dark toning is hiding some areas that would lower eye appeal if made more visible.

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 01/28/2023 11:40 pm This is not a Draped Bust coin, it is a Capped Bust. It has AU level detail and would likely go XF45 as noted above. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
