Festus Valued Member United States 172 Posts	Posted 05/24/2024 8:20 pm I have a couple of questions about this coin. Curious of the grade, and does being a woodie along with a rpd increase its value any? Edited by Festus 05/24/2024 8:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18662 Posts	Posted 05/25/2024 09:46 am i'd call it AU55 as well. my only concern (could be the light/photos) is that my eyes are seeing a green tone overall on the coin that could be a light coating of PVC. if it was mine i'd acetone it just to mitigate anything see how it looks and then possibly a verdicare soak if its warranted. this would change the look of this coin so before venturing into this take a close look at it in hand to see if you see the same thing specifically I'm seeing some imbedded around the neck beads and in the hair under RTY as well as along LIBERTY itself. there are other areas but these are the areas I can see the best Report this Post to the Staff
Festus Valued Member United States 172 Posts	Posted 05/25/2024 4:14 pm Thanks for the feedback everyone. @panzaldi, man you've got impressive eyes, there's no way I would have spotted that green tint without you pointing it out. I like the look of the coin but @$40, it seems too high for an au IHC. Report this Post to the Staff
