I got in late to this one but I was going to say 58 with a very weak strike on both obverse and reverse. I have a 1857 graded AU58 (see...
I gave it a 6, primarily because of the rim bumps/dings on the reverse. Not a problem for me in the grading of the coin but this is a subjective...

Thanks everyone for your help. I checked out PCCB on eBay and Amazon and they are all shipped from China and are offered at wildly varying...
Acetone will not remove the fingerprint. I doubt that anything will without further damaging the coin but there are much more experienced people...
That is most generous of you, @Insider. But I can't help but believe that there is a vendor that makes the complete three part system that I'm...
It's obvious - we are incapable of learning from hard and bitter experience - we much prefer to stand by our beliefs however wrong experience...
