<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lostinspace, post: 8236418, member: 119576&quot;]Three questions.</p><p><br /></p><p>1) I know I can soak some gunk off in acetone or distilled water. I was worried about putting the 1833 half cent in acetone because I thought I remembered copper reacts with acetone. Is there any way to get some of this oxidization/crud build up off? It seems to be obscuring some detail making it hard to grade; bringing us to question number..</p><p><br /></p><p>2) Any one want to take a stab at possible grades? I was hopeful for that 25-35 range but, the reverse looks pretty rough. I&#039;m not confident in my interpretation and I&#039;m not skilled enough to see past some of the buildup and just see the coin. If it grades in that 25-35 range...</p><p><br /></p><p>3) Would you slab it? Keep in mind, even at $50 value, I&#039;ll probably have it stabbed as it&#039;s one of the more interesting coins from Dad&#039;s stuff and it&#039;s going in with a handful of friends in my fist crack at using a grading service. Plus, my only cost in the coin is slabbing it so, why not?[ATTACH=full]1449036[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1449037[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
