<p>[QUOTE="TJ1952, post: 2516345, member: 76413"]I found this barely sticking out from under a jewelry box, in a glass display cabinet, in a consignment shop. It was listed for $35.00. It was the only coin in the shop. I bought the slab, not the coin. Mostly because I like the older slabs. I'm thinking it's a 1980's edition.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Rev. seems to have great luster and toning. The Obv. is ugly and has problems. The toning is very dark, dull and unusual looking compaired to the Rev. Plus, the corrosion! These carbon spots/verdigris hunt me, especially the spot on Washington's head! It looks like a stinkin hole!! I'm sure that process started or at least progressed in the slab over the years. I wonder if PCGS would take it back. I guess it's not worth getting fixed. So now I just sit back and watch it slowly turn to dust. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>For your viewing pleasure:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]535953[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]535955[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]535957[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]535959[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]535960[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]535961[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]535962[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]535963[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
