Not a coin with big value, so a good candidate for experimentation. I did not take before pictures (sorry), but I get a sense that the coin shows better - cleaner and a bit more vibrant. Slightly better than good, but not by much. Edited by Blastenpene4 05/29/2023 6:58 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Blastenpene4 Pillar of the Community United States 959 Posts	Posted 05/30/2023 06:59 am For a coin of this quality of a fairly common date, details has little meaning to me. Of course I'd rather have an unmolested coin, but a coin like this has zero reason to go through a TPG where that designation would matter. Just my opinion. That said, I'm curious as to the answer to your question, John1. Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18687 Posts	Posted 05/30/2023 08:41 am i would assign a VG details (ED or maybe cleaned) to this coin. what you did was more preservation than anything here. Report this Post to the Staff
