<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 766256, member: 19165&quot;]It is very much not worth slabbing, but I will now spend a little while helping you understand why. First, the coin is probably circulated. There seem to be traces of wear on the cheek and eagle&#039;s feathers. That limits the grade to AU. However, the bigger problem is that this coin has been polished, dipped, and cleaned at sometime in its life. It also has unnattractive spotting in places (the field in front of her nose, along the edge of her nose, on her cheek, and on the eagle&#039;s breast). The dipping is evidenced by the unnatural orangey color around the edges - usually a pretty good sign the coin has been dipped and not quite rinsed properly to remove the acid. The coin will then retone in these unattractive colors. </p><p><br /></p><p>However, all these problems diminish in light of the fact that the coin appears to have been polished. Notice how the coin appears reflective in spots, most noticeable on her cheek, and the fields around the devices. This shininess is unnatural, and usually indicates some sort of harsh polishing, like a silver cleaner or baking soda. Numismatists shun coins that exhibit any of the problems your coin has. I&#039;m sorry. </p><p><br /></p><p>Your coin is worth the silver content, which is around $14 right now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
