unc details - cleaned

 

I agree. It was probably cleaned before being sent in but it got a straight grade at the time. It was really a pretty brown at the time.

 

So we should grade it without the spots?

 

Love the green on the obverse.

The obverse and reverse sneeze marks limit the grade to 62, however (despite what it may say on the holder). This may be 63, if the luster is really strong, and the spots are removed.

I know that you bought many of these Injun's a long time ago. As with all spotty copper, have the spots grown since you bought it? I would recommend sending this one to NCS as well, but I wouldn't want to loose the attractive toning on this one. Tough call.

 

61/62. Would be 63/64 if it weren't for the sneeze marks.

 

Without the spots, 63

 

62 BN if it straight grades

 

Sorry I missed the questions. It was a tough day. The spots grew over time. No way it would grade 63 today. It's going to NCS.

 

Was at 62 bn
