Bought this from a local dealer. Nice details, but clearly has some issues. Any remedies to make it looks better? Thanks in advance.

    enlist the svc's of a good coin dr. needs to be lightly wire brushed & recolored, & could make for a very nice coin

    I would do the usual and soak it in 100% pure acetone. Becareful, it is flamable.

    The interesting thing about this 67/67 is the broken O of "OF"
    (and S of "STATES"),
    and the problem with the denticles above it,
    and the lack of denticles from 7 to 10 o'clock.

    Looks like the die was on its way out when it was struck.

    Very cool late die state 67/67, yet the overdate is all there.

    Definitely hit with some acetone and see what happens.

    Acetone was no help. Any other ideas?

    Strip it with Jewel-luster and hit it with some Deller's darkener. Or better yet, leave it be.

    Send it to NCS. Would be worth the investment.

    Paul, i would suggest that the only thing you should do is send it to NCS to see if they can help any. IMHO, suggestions to "Strip it with Jewel-luster and hit it with some Deller's darkener" or "enlist the svc's of a good coin dr. needs to be lightly wire brushed & recolored" are just irresponsible and should be ignored.

    If sent to NCS, please post results when the coin is back. I'd be very curious to see how this one turns out.

    Even if you do your own work, please share the results with us. Hope everything turns out well with this coin.
