    This was sitting in a pawn shop for quite a while, got it for a good price. I believe that I know what the net grade is.(having it in hand), What would be your grade? IMG_2609.JPG
    It came in a lot worse shape than this, it was corrode with something acidic. . I saw that it had a good patina to it, but, the cleaning was obscured by the corrosion. IMG_2610.JPG IMG_2614.JPG It got an acetone bath, and a queue tip. If I am missing the reason for the problem coin, please give your assessment.

    I'd call it VG details (stained/corroded)

    I'd be surprised if acetone would have any effect on it at all.
    Acetone is useful for removing crud and gunk.
    It will not have an effect on toning.

    If acetone dont lighten some of that black try like olive oil or even verdicare. I've not tried it on silver but copper or bronze I've had "some" luck. The corrosion isn't going anywhere but may lighted up a little.
    If all that fail try a dip.

    VG details. Personally I wouldn't make any further attempts at cleaning, it is what it is.

    I think I will plan on leaving it in the condition that it is. Its a hole filler until another comes around.

    I hope you didn't pay more than about $20 for it, and it's not worth submitting anywhere.

    Just a hole filler for now.
