Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5672 Posts	Posted 02/28/2025 9:59 pm I'd say VG-10 straight grade. Some verdigris and crud that might look better with conservation. Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 02/28/2025 10:13 pm It's got contamination on the surface. It would not straight grade w/o conservation and then it's a maybe. It does need to come out of the that holder. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6385 Posts	Posted 03/01/2025 4:25 pm If the other 1875-CC you posted makes VG-8 this one has to be F-12 at least. I guess the obverse might have some surface contamination but otherwise the coin looks problem-free. If you buy it perhaps you could send it to PCGS for their conservation service. Or, you could crack it out, treat with acetone, and keep it raw or submit to PCGS and see how they like it. Report this Post to the Staff
adam126402 Pillar of the Community United States 879 Posts	Posted 03/01/2025 8:23 pm Here's the grade. I'm going to pass on this one. I'm concerned about the surface contaminants. Sellers asking for just under F12 money. If I could get it for VG8 money I might take a chance and crack it out. Edited by adam126402 03/01/2025 8:25 pm Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 03/01/2025 10:39 pm Good move to avoid it. When you see hardened contamination like this on the reverse you have a problem. There may be a thin film of whatever it is across the obverse and these bits and pieces on the reverse are bad news. Should not be in a straight graded holder.
