    Thank you so much.
    Before doing my first topic I read this forum a lot. I learned a lot in here.

    I would move it away from any staples as they can scratch the coin. It is also good to take picture of the coin out of any plastic.

    Yeah, I know, buddy.
    I still do not have the coin in my hands, I bought it from a colleague who brought it from Spain.
    This week when I have it in my hands, I'll take it out of the bin with stamps and put it on one whit "glue" not stamps.

    Looks pretty shiny/sanitized from those photos. I think it's been cleaned along the way (see upper reverse field).

    I'd think $30-$100 depending on if/how much it is cleaned....and how much/if any luster remains.

    I find that many countries around the world, including several in Europe, clean their coins and don't find it to be a problem.....I agree that it's been cleaned which we think is a no no for US coins.

    WELCOME!
