Just because the TPGs will often reward higher grades to such coins, this does not make it right. As far as I am concerned, literally thousands of mid 19th century coins have been ruined all in the name of getting a few ticks higher grade (think pre-civil war gold), which is a negative IMO.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Technical gem&quot;??

To be honest, the coin has been rather harshly cleaned and would not grade. That said, if you like and will enjoy owning, this is all that really&nbsp; matters.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
