panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18657 Posts	Posted 05/22/2024 09:41 am the coin may have had a dip to remove some crud but doesn't look overdone. the eye appeal and a little more wear than a 58 with minimal if any luster would net this one down to AU55 there appears to be some organic matter still imbedded. I would consider a soak in 100% acetone. if you don't know about this, it is not nail polish remover. you can get it at a hardware store. it will not harm the coin and does not need rinsed. let it soak overnight and don't mess with it. the acetone may even evaporate over that timeframe just leaving the coin. sometimes it needs two soaks. full retail is about $50 for this one.

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18657 Posts	Posted 05/23/2024 09:19 am the acetone did a good job cleaning this up. i think with the new photos I'm changing my grade to MS62. the wear on the wings appears to have been photo related. you can see how proper light and focus makes a huge difference. make sure when you post that the photos are the best representation of what the coin actually looks like in hand Report this Post to the Staff
