Morgan with the Measles? (Red-Orange Spots)

Thanks, Thad. The distilled water I might go ahead and try. From what I read earlier it sounds like I can't mess that one up!

If you are concerned about trying to clean it yourself but the substance is a definite bother for you, you should send it to NCS for conservation before sending it to PCGS. PCGS does not have a conservation service.

Just from the photo showing around the left ear, I see no need for adding expense to this coin by sending it to a TPG.

And that's not clay residue.

 

Maybe this is a silly concern, but I want to have it slabbed and ID'd so I don't have to worry about a buyer trying to pull a switch on me.

 

I agree with Doug on this now that I see both sides of the entire coin. The grading and slabbing will run ya about $20, plus roundtrip shipping to and from the TPG you send it to.

I don't see the expense of that for a coin that is harshly cleaned and will not receive a grade.

Your concerns of a buyer pulling a switch on you, that is possible, though unlikely, and maybe you should keep the coin for your collection instead of selling it.

 

Hmmmm... Well, thanks for the suggestions. As far as keeping it for my collection, I don't really have the budget for that. This is part of an estate I'm trying to help a non-computer-literate family member sell off to raise some money. (That's also why I have the concerns about a switch for a fake, etc.)

I'll have to mull this over. I sure appreciate all the input!

 

Put it in a 2x2 flip stapled shut, and put some kind of index number on the back somewhere.

 

Die position is correct. And mm is authentic. Was cleaned heavily, but no toning, for some reason many CC have been recovered from the ground. I would say this is a ground recovery. edited

 

Defintely clay.
That's a ground recovery coin.
Toning would be different. Color is too rich and common with ground recovery CC.

 

I don't believe that's the case.
