could not believe it when it dropped out of the roll... stunning in hand, I hope the pictures capture the awesomeness! it looks like there could be some glue or maybe "lamination" going on near the motto on the front.. not sure. I did get the gunk on liberty's head off with a plastic flosser, no problems there. then I tured this beast around and WAM. could these be full bands!? I think so but would love to get some more input on that and the GRADE and VALUE.. or if it should be slabbed or not.. thanks!   |

I think it's AU58, Improperly cleaned, detracting toning.

looks like its at least an MS-63 without the glue, and even with the glue, its an MS-61.
its not cleaned and that toning looks nice to me.

Not cleaned as someone claimed, but I don't think it's FB. Better pics will tell.

That's a great find. I would have to say it's not a FB but not by much. The middle band has some wear but I'm not a pro. John1  |

Nice find. Soak it in acetone for a couple minutes, see if that crap on it comes off.
I don't see any luster breaks, so MS61 as it sits now. No FB designation.

will an acetone soak hurt or change the luster or grade of this coin?
