<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hunting Rare, post: 4324554, member: 104599&quot;]After acetone soak #2, hours of restoration work, and looking at it under intense magnification.......I can see all L.D.S. die markers, original Matte luster is now more present, die scratches on the nose itself are now visible, die polish lines more prevalent, and rim cuds/die cracks match all L.D.S. examples of the V.D.B. M.P.L. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here are some pictures after it&#039;s second acetone bath and restoration job. I stand by my original guess of PR50 no Details, but I wouldn&#039;t be surprised to see a PR53 grade on it&#039;s eventual slab.....as the last bath it received made the detailed strike &quot;pop&quot; slightly more now in my personal opinion. Also colorful natural toning is now much more proof looking! This specimen has a nice Matte blue toning! Imagine how this coin would look if not impaired at all and in PR65ish+!</p><p><br /></p><p>(Pics included have no image editing to enhance the color, only &quot;brightness&quot; and &quot;sharpness&quot; were used to make pictures clearer as coin is in a 2x2 for all pictures except picture #2 of the Reverse.) </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1098233[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1098234[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1098235[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1098236[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1098237[/ATTACH] </p><p>Die marker very visible after some circulation wear and even taken through a 2x2!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1098238[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Center dot visible and even the die scratch through the dot it is somewhat visible!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1098239[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
