<p>[QUOTE="eddiespin, post: 7564579, member: 4920"]It's a crusty one, but there' a lot of die wear thrown in. I give it low to middle AU. The top-of-shield strike I believe is from the die, as well. At any rate, it's on some of these '68s. It's a bumpy surface, I agree. The striations, however, aren't corrosion, and there's quite a bit of those, all over. They're from a "past-it" die, in a manner of speaking.</p><p><br /></p><p>Again, I'd just take good care of it. Its biggest issues of course are on the reverse. Just think arresting the development of those. Kill off whatever is there with acetone and seal it in the best you can, is how I'd be approaching it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
