    Thanks guys. I think this coin can use a light cleaning and it may look better. Going to give it a soak in distilled water probably.

    It's a great portrait! You could probably just rub a little bit off with your thumb.

    I actually done a auction to get this coin. Scored it for $10.59. Got it kind of cheap and once I clean it a little I think it's going to look nicer. I don't have any distilled water right now so I can wait.
