Sometimes inverting the colors helps you see things you missed on a worn coin.
Not a credible grading company. This is one of those that puts crazy high grades on cheap coins to make them look valuable.
I don't have any Xylene right now. I was wondering about that glob of gunk and how to get it off. Anything else work without hurting the coin?
I imagine that the recovery effort for this particular ship got put on the front burner when silver prices exploded. They had to have known it was...
