Cracked out of an NGC holder, guess the grade. Do you think a soak in acetone will remove the verdigris from the rev? Only two coins left to fill my 7070.
If you acetone it you may want to coat it in Blue Ribbon or CARE or whatever the substitute for that is to seal/protect the surfaces. You could also soak it for a while in olive oil then pick at it with a rose thorn and see if it's moveable, then do the acetone, then the CARE.
VF or thereabouts. Unfortunately, I cannot assign the coin a sticker.

This is one that I will always be looking to upgrade but for now, it is a nice album filler. I wanted to get one that was graded by either PCGS or NGC and this coin looked like a very nice F12.

Nice coin. Always a tough one.
Not to hijack the thread, but only for comparison, I'll include my link to my 1814 1c Guess the Grade thread from awhile back... 1814 Guess the Grade

That is a beautiful AU55, I'd love to have an AU classic head but price is a huge factor.
Mine is an F-12.
