<p>[QUOTE="messydesk, post: 2438745, member: 1765"]The color on the reverse gives me pause. It has some splotchy spittle marks and finger prints on it, but "full red" at the lower left reverse inconsistent with the rest of the coin. If there is a sign of polishing here, it'll never grade. Also, there's some gunk on the obverse in the wreath by the left arrowhead that would have to be removed. The obverse overall color doesn't look bad.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
