<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mark1971, post: 26640468, member: 73818&quot;]This caught my eye at a local antique store in a display case. Never owned one of these, but I liked how this one looked. With help from Numista and the Great Collections auction archives I was able to identify it. Compared to the few VF, AU and even MS examples sold at GC, this one has a very nice reverse, especially the leaves and shield regions. The pedestal on the obverse also is much more well defined than most of those examples. </p><p><br /></p><p>Some of those at GC have obvious cleanings, excuse me, ‘conservations’, using verdi care or a similar methods and I don’t like how some of them look. So at this point I don’t plan on doing that to this coin since I don’t see any hidden corrosion. I’ll call it a nicely struck EF specimen based on the VF and AU examples at the GC archives. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1699215[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1699216[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
