JasonKflo Pillar of the Community United States 1694 Posts	Posted 08/17/2023 3:36 pm This 1860 Philly came in today Much nicer in hand than I can capture. I did notice a few reverse minor green spots. It's PCGS graded I May see about getting it conserved and reslabbed ? To me 1860 Philly is an underrated date as it's not so easy to find., at least when I have had extra money. This is straight graded.

pristine2 Pillar of the Community United States 1048 Posts	Posted 08/17/2023 3:55 pm It's a better date, but actually pretty easy in circulated grades. The reverse is exceptional here, and the obverse very nice (but not unusually so). The wear measure is maybe AU55, I think, but the obverse has a real paucity of luster. I might guess AU50/53.

ericgreen Pillar of the Community United States 1517 Posts	Posted 08/18/2023 11:24 am I would say AU-53. Those green spots on the reverse look like they could possibly be PVC. I had a Barber half that I bought that had green spots like that. I cracked it out and soaked it in acetone for 48 hours and they disappeared. Granted, I was putting it in an album anyways, so cracking it out wasn't an issue. If you have a TPG converse it, I would be concerned about it coming back with some of the original skin gone too.

Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4469 Posts	Posted 08/20/2023 11:14 am Sending it into PCGS for conservation to only remove the green spots may help the coin. The green spots can eat at the metal and they can grow. The only issue is that the green spots will turn into white spots after conservation. Report this Post to the Staff
JasonKflo Pillar of the Community United States 1694 Posts	Posted 08/20/2023 11:22 am I would still Prefer white over green Edited by JasonKflo 08/20/2023 11:23 am Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6392 Posts	Posted 08/20/2023 1:51 pm AU-50 overall. The reverse green specks seem pretty minor. I see what looks like damage on Liberty's knee. Might that be enough to risk a Details grade if the coin were cracked and re-submitted? Report this Post to the Staff
