<p>[QUOTE=&quot;upnorth, post: 612814, member: 19063&quot;]Hi everybody, I&#039;m new around here. I am new to collecting, just getting my feet wet. I thought I would post my coin here for your thoughts. I&#039;m wondering how this coin would grade, specifically (though I know it&#039;s difficult to tell from a couple pics on the net). It was given to me by my grandfather 20+ years ago, so it&#039;s more of a sentimental thing for me. It sounds odd from someone who wants to be a collector, but I somehow really like the fact that this coin looks like it&#039;s 130 years old! Think of the stories it could tell...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]49583.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]49584.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, just looking for some pointers. What&#039;s important to watch for, what doesn&#039;t much matter, is it worth trying to have this cleaned or maybe using some distilled water myself? It looks grimier in the hand than the photos show (flash reflection, I assume.) Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
