Here we go! Nothing special here but the pics make this coin look horrible. Its much darker better looking in hand. 29S can be tricky to grade. This one is now in a shot glass of acetone lol! Thanks   Edited by ceaton

I agree with.. AU-58,  and, remember, after you take the coin out, don't drink the acetone.  |

Nice, looks like a little rub and a few hits, AU-50.

I'm going to say EF-45, several hits and wear on hair and beard.

I would have to go AU-50 for the same reason Thad did. Small amounts of wear here and there on the high spots. A few dings as well. On the reverse above the P in PLURIBUS I see something but can't tell what that is. Organic? or ?

It's definitely awesome looking. It's much better looking than the '29-S I have. Love cents. I am 6 coins away from completing my set but it will be a few years. Have about 3 years of child support left and after that my paycheck is mine!

I would say a net detail grade of EXFINE 40

I think a TGP would take it to EF40, now that I look again that hit right on the eye pains me. I'd like to see it after a good xylene soak, I don't think acetone will do much for the surface residue.

Although this coin has AU details, it is dinged up enough to drop it into EF.
It does have a good strike on both sides and should have no problem getting an EF45.

I dont have any xylene :( Any advice on where to pick some up? After its acetone bath, some of the crud came off and gave it a boost. I'll have to take different pictures now, I'm not liking the ones I posted.
I agree with most about the EF grade, I'll probably give it a EF45 Net grade. Pictures to come tonight when I'm not at work :)
