Nice, that 11D is HAMMERED! 63BN I'd give it a 64 easy with nice cartwheel luster. These are tough.
All the modern proofs are NGC ultra cameo, i.e. "frosted". No coin shows or shops in your area? You find a better deal locally. The 69's are dirt...
Oh God yes! While VERDI-CARE™ is gentle, a newbie could still make a serious mistake. I generally don't recommend using my products unless you're...
Congrats! You did VERY well all things considered! That's one heck of a collection!
WOW! Nice find!
NCS will not "clean" the coin. Doing so would destroy any remaining details that are left. This is why I say they would do nothing with this coin....
NCS will not add anything to halt the corrosion process other than slabbing it, it's not what they do. In fact, they may not even do anything to...
NNC = suck
When part of the devices are missing, definate keeper, otherwise, spend 'em.
I already hated the TPG's, now I hate them even more. Ain't no way in H-E-double toothpick this is a 65 coin. Especially if you compare it to the...
64? They way under-graded that coin. The TPG's really do suck grading by luster, there's hardly a hit on that coin.

Those are amazing! Thanks for the link.
Doesn't NCS do this everyday?
It's already slabbed, why worry about it? The spots are minor anyway. Just follow proper storage practices and it will be fine. If it bothers you,...
Unknown organic surface residue. Either distilled water, acetone or xylene should remove it unless it is wax. If you're not comfortable performing...
Sage advice. I absolutely refuse to buy proof or mint sets online anywhere. You must see these in person to make sure the set was stored properly....
Hint - There's no wear on the coin.
I sold it as a 63/64 for a nice price. It had full cartwheel luster. Somebody on another forum got a great deal on it.
Yea, in my bank box. LOL
