Las_Vegas_Larry Pillar of the Community United States 817 Posts	Posted 07/06/2011 6:50 pm Great coin my guess AU55/58. Wish I could say I bought one for less. Coin looks good after treatment. Did you mean BadThad's juice? Report this Post to the Staff
Tam Valued Member United States 200 Posts	Posted 07/06/2011 6:56 pm Easily XF, might be getting into AU except the leaves seem to have weak veins on them. Still, nice job cleaning it up, and nice coin!! Report this Post to the Staff
Chewyduck Valued Member United States 158 Posts	Posted 07/06/2011 6:59 pm Yeah BadThad, I always mix it up. I thought the results were super. Report this Post to the Staff
southerngent Valued Member United States 469 Posts	Posted 07/06/2011 9:18 pm Wow! that worked really well. I need to get some of that stuff. Nice coin. I would love to know if you got a great deal due to the green. It's great if you did and were able to double the apparent value. Report this Post to the Staff
ACE Mike Valued Member United States 438 Posts	Posted 07/06/2011 10:46 pm Excellent results! I lean more toward AU-50 as a grade. Report this Post to the Staff
Chewyduck Valued Member United States 158 Posts	Posted 07/06/2011 10:50 pm You can see the signs of the old verdigris, will it come back "cleaned". Or is it not even worth sending in to a TPG. Report this Post to the Staff

nwc coin Pillar of the Community United States 516 Posts	Posted 07/06/2011 11:05 pm Very nice conservatoin job! Looks like you got to it in time. I'm on the fence between XF-45 and AU-50 for this one. Report this Post to the Staff
Kopper Ken Pillar of the Community United States 3402 Posts	Posted 07/07/2011 12:55 am I would say details EF-45 with too much wear for an AU-50. You would also however have to consider the extent of the field damage from the verdigris. The obverse look great after the conservation. On the reverse it definitely looks like it got into the metal. Nice pickup and treatment. You saved a coin. KK Report this Post to the Staff
