[QUOTE="silvereagle82, post: 152183, member: 1700"]NCS with photos they seem to think it is caused by a fingerprint (or I guess more so by what was on the finger) and they may be able to help and barring no improper cleaning or evironmental damage get it NGC graded. Regarding the general condition, obviously the coin has been cleaned (Via a dip) since 1794, but in hand I can see no signs of any harsh cleaning or wizzing ( w/16x loupe) and the coin does have some lustre. The field marks are normal wear/tear and planchet graininess (I guess thats the proper description). So off to NCS/NGC it goes and with a little luck it will come back in an NGC slab with a AU-58 or higher grade :whistle: Thanks for all your comments PS: I do try to change out the dessicant bags every six months... I might change to every qtr.[/QUOTE]
