<p>[QUOTE="C-B-D, post: 3954043, member: 43130"]This one was a little risky, but the eye appeal (IMO) was severely affected by the black splotchy toning on the obverse. It will still straight grade. I'd say AU55 all day. Ok, maybe 53. Word of warning: This coin is not the rule. Attempts to dip circulated coins don't usually look this pleasant. I didn't want to make it blast white, so I didn't do a full-on dip. I just worked some dip gently over it with a soft Q-tip, then rinsed and acetoned.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1041663[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1041694[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
