<p>[QUOTE="C-B-D, post: 1908163, member: 43130"]Here's the coin. It's a 1835 PCGS MS62 Bust half. There are two spots that bother me. One on the obverse under the date and one at about 2 o'clock on the reverse. I'm thinking someone gave it an acetone bath to remove dirt and it left the outline of the spots on the coin's surface? The rest of the toning doesn't bother me at all and looks quite natural.</p><p>According to their website, if they agree to restore it, they will grade the coin again, and if it does not grade or downgrades, they will pay me the difference (PCGS guarantee) according to the PCGS price guide. MS62 is listed at $1675 currently. I'm into this coin $1325. I'll keep you all posted on the results. According to the form it takes 4-6 weeks.</p><p><br /></p><p>FYI, the darker area above the date seems to be a break in the luster... not really sure.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]326851[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]326852[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
