Yes I know it would be a details coin. But I just want to know what everyone thinks. The first photos are the sellers and then my own. Sorry I couldn't get better photos. I believe it's a high AU, the coin is much better in hand. The obverse looks UNC but the reverse isn't pretty.
Definitely AU details, but I wouldn't touch it. Besides the obvious black spotting (environmental damage or crud? I can't tell), and the weird color, it looks cleaned.
I agree with everything you said, cleaned, black spots. But I did buy it, but it was a really low price.
Yea, I'll be watching those. But I live in a very arid, dry climate so that should help slow it down.
As bad as that one is, try some Verdi-care on it. It won't get rid of it all, but it will improve it and stop it from spreading.
Recommend? Acetone, Xylene and Verdicare. What I'd do? Well, l'd have already had that coin boiled in Therminol....kids, don't do this at home.
It has a previous cleaning, those black copper formate spots are tell-tale. I know of nothing that can remove those, in my limited experience with such corrosion, VC is not effective on it as it's very tenacious. AFAIK, not even NCS will attempt to conserve such a coin.
Uncirculated details, environmental damage. However, need sharper photo. Have not seen this die state before and the coin looks counterfeit On the good side...no one would make a decent counterfeit and corrode it on purpose - yet!
So I got it for a fair price. I don't I'll get one for this price again. Should I sell it before the corrosion gets any worse?
On second look, I'm wondering if it isn't a fake as well. Could you possibly provide a good closeup of the mint mark and the denticles on the reverse from 6:30-7 o'clock?
It's been previously improperly cleaned , au58 -ms60 details if it was not for the black spots you'd prolly 62-64
