<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dynoking, post: 8138140, member: 81795&quot;]I pulled this coin out this afternoon to prepare it for grading. I&#039;ve been studying it ever since. It&#039;s not graded because the last time it was on the market there was no such thing as a TPG.</p><p>The hair lines you see on the reverse between the beak and shoulder are two fold. Some are from die polishing as they stop at and do not cross the device. Then there are scratches including one long and deep across the beak and into the shield. They may be a deal breaker. (Will not straight grade)</p><p>The fields were mirror like but cloudy. Acetone did not help. The first pictures below are after a dip. The fields are clearer and the coin has a nice cartwheel on both sides.</p><p>The last picture is a close up of the scratches I&#039;m trying to describe. You can also see the striations from the worn out die.</p><p>When I took this coin out of its plastic 2x2 I was excited. Now not so much. I feel like I&#039;m putting lipstick on a pig. Any ideas about what to do with this &quot;gem&quot;?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1418413[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1418415[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1418416[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
