    This came to me today as part of a nice estate collection. First photos are as she sits now, second shows before and after an acetone dip…I wanted to try to remove a dark spot from her cheek and it worked! It’s a beautiful coin. May send it out for grading if I can piggyback on a larger dealer submission.
    Enjoy!

    I found a submission to piggyback on, so if folks want to guess the grade, let’s do it!

    Nice. I'd go with AU55-58, and thats only because I'm not seeing any luster.

    I'll say 58 as well, but a 64 wouldn't surprise me at all. Pretty coin. Well done!

    The old girl finally found her way back from PCGS after a near eternity. I’d say it was worth the wait. MS-63 is a win in my book! A beautiful coin with toning galore. I’ll probably sell her to fund other interests (my son needs that final seated dollar to complete his type set) but it’s been a fun adventure while I’ve had her.
