As the title of the Discussion says... what grade would you assign this piece? This is the WLH in my current 7070 Type Set. I'll upgrade it at some point, but I really couldn't beat the price at the time... ;-)

    Just been trying to grasp nuances here lately.

    Some wear, but not much. AU 55?

    The liberty quarters drive me nuts. Only the finest appeals to me.

    I would see that as a 50, shot 53 precluding any issues (which there may be)

    ding...ding...ding...ding...ding! I'd have gone with 50 or 55 details, but you nailed the PVC damage. This piece was found in a bulk bin at my local B&M shop when I lived in Flagstaff and silver was about $6/oz. I think they were $2.50 each/5 for $10. These are pieces that I typically gave the kids when the Tooth Fairy came... Anyway, the entire reverse of the coin was a pasty green color and "rinsing" in acetone wasn't budging it. I finally poured about 20 mls into a glass petri dish with the coin in it and let it go overnight. Most of the PVC had dissolved, but there were still a few areas that remained. I liked the details on the coin and the strike (as someone else mentioned) was also pretty good for this issue... so I kept it. Here are a few more images that might highlight better the "issues" with this piece... but for $2.50?!!

    It's too bad I don't have any "Before" pictures of this piece, but it looked like a cross between these two:

    I should add, if the dirt and pvc were removed (and I strongly believe it would alll come off) you'd have a nice slider in your album.

    Maybe I'll give her another bath before putting her back in the album... :smile:

    Ms70 would remove both and not harm/etch the surfaces.
