fistfulladirt Pillar of the Community United States 4333 Posts	Posted 12/02/2010 9:57 pm I dug this one last week, my best so far of about 12 this year. I thought it came out nice. Reverse is great too, I could have taken a better pic but was in a hurry. When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...

fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 12/02/2010 11:10 pm Nice looks like AU details with possibly some light cleaning. Good clean liberty, nice strike, no evidence of heavy wear anywhere on that obverse Report this Post to the Staff
fistfulladirt Pillar of the Community United States 4333 Posts	Posted 12/02/2010 11:28 pm Thanks fenton. Yes, light cleaning, I recovered this one at a depth of about 8", surprised it came out this nice. In the same area, I also dug a 1917 Canadian quarter, couple mercs, roosie, and a '45 Walker, one of my better dirtfishing trips. When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...

fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 12/03/2010 08:30 am Silver can hold up superlatively in the ground. When folks find a key date, I would recommend NCS conservation I have seen ones ruined by harsh cleaning. This piece looks fine, however so any cleaning was done professionally with an eye toward conserving the find. Report this Post to the Staff
