<p>[QUOTE="Bill in Burl, post: 1822223, member: 23692"]As I put in my first post, there is corrosion on the coin and you will probably lose money on the first $30 you spent, let alone ever having it graded. It's a nice coin to keep, but not to sell. You have a heavy hard vertigris corrosion in the lower right quadrant of the Obv with evidence that someone tried to rub it off. You have minor corrosion over about 1/3 of the Obv and about the same on the reverse. You may be able to cover up a good portion of it(the white stuff) by leaving a light coat of oil on it, but the spots on the Obv and on the 1 in the date will leave pits if you remove the green. Some of the "luster" that some of the folks on CCF remarked about is actually natural toing that has been rubbed off trying to remove the corrosion . You have a 60/61 coin for wear but much environmental damage. 99's are a good year to collect for varieites, but not like the 59's, 81's and 82's. Good luck[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
