AGCoinHunter Pillar of the Community United States 625 Posts	Posted 04/13/2010 09:11 am Just getting your opinions on what this would grade out as. Just picked it up last night. Sorry pics are a bit dark but dont have the coin in hand yet. Any suggestions on trying to get the crud off the obverse? Thanks, AG Edited by AGCoinHunter 04/13/2010 09:44 am Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 04/13/2010 09:59 am I have the feeling this one's going to be a surprise in-hand. There's a whole lot of detail if you look close - AU at worst, limited by lack of luster which is important in this series. Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 04/13/2010 11:28 am I'm not sure I'd want to remove the crud, even if done "properly" - that might lead to an unsatisfying contrast between cleaner (removed-crud) surfaces and non-crud toned surfaces. Sometimes you just want to leave it as it is. Report this Post to the Staff
