   Great looking example. Reverse appears to be cameo, with the obverse coming very close. I little dippage to clean up the mirrors, and it just might be there. Russ, NCNE

   << <i>personally i wouldnt dip it in anything but acetone. >> Acetone will not remove the haze. << <i>non-silver coins usually turn ugly as hell when dipped in jewelluster/eZest, ms70 and the like. >> The outer layer of the coin is 80% silver. It'll dip just fine. Russ, NCNE

   << <i>PCGS or NGC for this one? >> That depends on your plans for the coin. If you intend to sell it, PCGS would be the best option as these bring substantially more in their holder. If not selling, doesn't really matter. NGC is damned tough on these right now, so it's likely to grade the same at either service. Russ, NCNE

   Give the coin a bath and post a second picture. Hopefully once the haze is gone you will have nice contrasdt between the devices and mirrors. The reverse would make cameo. The obverse may or may not make cameo. From your picture it appears that the bust may have some patchs that lack frost. Nice coin in any event. Kudos on…
