<p>[QUOTE="eric0911, post: 1056054, member: 27051"]I have a 1981 T1(rounded S, not quite sure if thats T1 or T2:goofer<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> PRoof SBA. However, this coin has cloudy fields on obverse, sulpher paper damage on revese, resulting in no cameo. It also has heavy PVC dmage on the edge and has many finger prints. It also seems to have light scratches in the obverse field, but it is hard to see because of the cloudy fields. Should I attempt to clean it, send it to NCS, or just spend it. I have no experience cleaning coins, and I have heard that acetone that cuold be used to help it some is a dangerous chemical. If I did use acetone, would it also remove sulpher damage and un-cloud the fields? Despite the damage, it has exeptional detail, and if it was graded by only that , it would probably grade a 69 or 70.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
