[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 3993216, member: 19165"]There is a considerable amount of green contamination on this coin. There is a very distinct green ring around the rim on both sides, and green haze across many of the devices. I strongly suspect that this is contaminated with PVC, and needs to be conserved before you submit it (with that green, it will not be encapsulated - PVC is really bad). However, your advantage is that PVC contamination doesn't actually damage gold... it just needs to be conserved. Once the PVC is removed, I think this will grade 62 or 63. The lighting used for this picture is very strong and tends to oversaturate the luster and hide the marks, giving a somewhat washed out appearance. However, from what I see, this appears like it will be an attractive coin once properly conserved. If you are unfamiliar with conservation practices for coins, please do not try to do this yourself.
