IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36839 Posts	Posted 02/04/2024 6:38 pm Nice coin, looks AU-58 to me also. Might be some green starting so an Acetone bath might be in order. Report this Post to the Staff

sickpuppy78501 Pillar of the Community United States 599 Posts	Posted 02/04/2024 7:35 pm Yeah, I agree with that CF. I'm not looking for an MS, although that would be nice. Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18687 Posts	Posted 02/05/2024 08:28 am Quote: Shield bars unbroken. sel_69l...this is common for these. just not fully struck so when you are in the market for one I always go for the strong shield. there is wear on this coin so imo it was circulated. mid AU - i'll call it AU55 however the original skin has been removed. I can't get it to 58 without the original surfaces. someone attempted to remove the PVC on the coin quite a while ago. most likely the coin will not grade straight. Quote: Wouldn't acetone destroy the fine details? the answer is no. pure acetone will only remove organic matter. it will not damage the coin nor will it degrade the coin. the acetone we are speaking of is not nail polish remover. 100% acetone would be purchased at any hardware store and if you do a search here folks explain how to use it. it is a nice coin but the PVC on this coin needs remediated i found one thread on acetone in the coin forum topic that might help http://goccf.com/t/458018 Edited by panzaldi 02/05/2024 08:35 am Report this Post to the Staff
