Thoughts on this Seated half 1845

Does it need a dip? looks to have everything from ruts to blood on it at 20x magnification.



thoughts as to price paid?

A dip will not help the coin. I would give it a bath in acetone and a few hours and see what you have.

 

I would leave well enough alone. The coin may very well look much, much worse after being dipped.

 

I think it's right on. Real for the time. I'd trade you a 20 dollar bill for it.

 

LOL, thanks but no thanks. I don't generally sell coins.

 

I agree with an acetone dip, but nothing more. It looks like environmental damage, unfortunately. The pix are fuzzy enough that I could be mistaken.

Price? I'd guess $30?

Would you agree F15 details environmental damage?

 

Maybe the blood is from the battle at Gettysburg in the Civil War

 

That's a good sounding supposition. I think I'll hold that in my mind, LOL.

 

F12 details, tops. But it's the environmental damage that limits its value.

Yes, pretty sad. Your guess on price was close, but I got it for half of that even.

 

Id clean it if you dont ever intend to rid yourself of it.

 

Acetone only and the blood is probalbly from the cow pens over at Emporia. I'm more worried about the PVC.
And I would of not of paid more than melt for it.

 

It was part of a lot I will post in acquisitions thread sometime this week after my new camera comes. In this same lot I got a 22 very weak D for $10 in f15, a $3 half dime in vf25, a few stunning Jeff's, a few toned stunning war nickels(all FS) & an amazing 55s Lincoln. What is melt, about $13? Guarantee it would go triple on the bay, but the blood is intriguing so she stays.
