<p>[QUOTE="Kurisu, post: 6518020, member: 117063"]It's tough to tell from the photos but it almost looks like it was covered in shellac at some point... there are a bunch of us here who know different ways to try and restore a coin but with the coin you're showing if any of the processes can remove that toning or coating it's likely to leave behind some lighter and darker obviously 'cleaned' spots so it would be unlikely to straight grade for many years. Until it gets some natural age back on it...if you pocket it will wear even more and certainly end up in worse condition...might be fun as a "pocket" coin for a while and if you fondle it enough that surface will probably lighten up...maybe end up on your fingers and or your pocket a little bit for a few years though lol.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
