Acetone is defintely not harsh. In fact, it's one of the most gentle coin solvents out there.
Exactly! I'm always VERY suspecious of rare, key date coins at this grade level and not in a slab. There's always a reason and it's rarely because...
Not if you store it properly, i.e. multiple layers of protection, controlled temperature, and a sacraficial copper cent near the slab. These turn...
I agree 100%.
Yep, I agree with that grade....it's a sweet coin!

Definately a CUD and definately worth a premium.
Banks are in business to make money, they are not a free institution, plain and simple.
Lance....have I told you lately? . . . . . YOU SUCK! :p That 22D is to DIE for! :thumb:
Repulsive is too weak of a word. LOL
Harshly cleaned, polished.
Nice 25-D!
This one didn't fool many....thanks Dick.
