<p>[QUOTE="ACoinJob, post: 2744591, member: 76768"]Seriously? It was slabbed by the Historic Society. Doesn't appear to be resurfaced. However, there are slight cracks in the coin holder on the reverse of the coin holder. Air could of gotten in there first. I'll get a full scan of it eventually today if you'd like to see closer. The card has a little corrosion on it from the front and reverse where possibly water damage got to the edge of the coin at one time. But so does the Mercury Dime have spots of bad corrosion. I don't think they were cleaned, let alone plated. But, the glare of the coin holder itself has a rainbow toning <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[ATTACH]627258[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]627259[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]627260[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]627261[/ATTACH] The only corrosion spots were obvious under stereo-microscope.
