<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KurtS, post: 2269325, member: 11786&quot;]The most concerning spot is the dark one of the base of the portrait. I have perhaps a hundred or so old Aussie pennies--those in the 40s which I consider relatively &quot;problem-free&quot; circulated pieces have deeper brown color w/o discoloration. Those I have in the XF-AU grade have a lot of remaining luster in the legends. The flatness/lightness of the coin overall suggests<i> it might be dipped</i> to reduce the darker spot. Anyway--<b>not to rag on your coin</b> as much as point out a few things. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>If you haven&#039;t bought it yet, I would consider the spots as grounds to adjust your offer price--down a few notches. You&#039;re fortunate to live in an arid climate--I don&#039;t and I have to watch out for &quot;bronze disease&quot; on my older coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
