I'll guess that the cleaning removed the top surface? Dunno much about their composition, so I figured ED. I'll have to find something to put up....
Very pretty CBH! Congrats on a nice coin. Now you have to figure out which Overton it is... Always fun to research varieties.
Would acetone have done the trick as well?
Wait... yes, it's a spectacularly toned MS-63+. Ed Wood, it's for sale.... ;)
Even I don't think it's MS, and I would love it if it was!
My latest cherrypicks were two 1857 Snow-2 Flying Eagles from my LCS. That's the obverse of '56. VF40 and 35, paid $35 each. :D
Type 1 - Lettered Edge (1807-36) Type 2 - Reeded edge, and says "50 CENTS" on reverse (1836-37) Type 3 - Reeded edge, says "HALF DOL." on Rev...
I can see nicks/marks on both sides at the rim, right in line with the scratches.
I should have said "I don't have the need for the subscription", and the cost (to me) is an unnecessary expense. I am lucky though, my LCS will...

I hope I didn't come across as 'holier than thou', or insulting, as it wasn't meant to be. I just don't get the philosophy 'oh, that one's hard to...
That's why (I would think) it would be more rewarding to get that one. I guess I'm more of an old-fashioned collector, and don't go for moderns....
I'm trying to figure this out. Between the Congratulations set, and this LE set, there are 125,000 2017-S ASE's available. Yet people are finding...
I'm going to a local show tomorrow, and ICG will be there doing onsite grading for $10. Part of me says it's a waste of $10, but the other part...
It's baggy, but nice. It might make 64, but I'm not the greatest at Morgans. Trouble is, between the $60 you paid, and the $35 to grade it,...
Woke up in the middle of the night last night, and decided to do something I had been thinking about doing for a while. I'm not crazy about the...
Picked this up today at my LCS. What grade would you throw at it? [ATTACH]
$75 on the Roosie (was going to guess $1500 on the Morgan)
As for @ddddd 's Feuchtwanger; $130 VF Details (ED)
Either yours, which is a much nicer example then mine, is undergraded, or mine is overgraded. NGC gave mine VF Details - [ATTACH]
