I would say GONG for Cleaned.

[kryptonitecomics]

Cleaned but doesn't looked scrubbed and seeing how it is circulated...I could see this in a top holder.

[L1ncolnF4n]

My guess is VF-30. Yet, it's exceptionally dull and it depends on the turn of the coin if it'd make a TPG

[jgrinz]

Tough call - It does not appear to be holdered right now as I am sure James is not that good - Well maybe he is

 

Obviously cleaned to me ..

You got the scratches bewteen the STAR and the ONE on the REVERSE in an attempt to remove a tone spot it appears.

You got Rim damage above the B and the US on the Obverse.

The color is right except for the "GREEN" That bothers me ...

Looks like some grafitti on the lower neck ...

 

VF35 details

 

GONG

 

[Jakeblue]

It appears that it was dipped to remove a verdigris-type of environ toning and then thumbed hard in certain areas to try and remove the remaining "green", and has toned some since then.

 

I will go with VF30.

[Mark T]

I have to also gong it .

 

Rim Ding.

That green stuff ( although I have seen many coins with minor Verdigris Certified)

The scruffs on the reverse by the one

Cleaned – I am going to guess that this coin had a lot of crud on it that was removed by a cleaning

 

Now with all that being said I am going to guess we are all wrong and it was graded !!!

My reason is, this looks like an obvious problem coin so James wanted to make us all look silly

[font:Comic Sans MS]GONG!![/font]

Might make it into a Geniune holder though.

[dean1345]

BB'd.

[Brando]

If its not in a holder, its not far off....stick it in your pocket for a while...it might lose a little detail but it should gain a more natural look and maybe make the rim ding a little less evident.

[BillJones]

No grade.

 

Rim ding in a bad place + the services are no longer letting that type of light gray color pass.

[123cents]

Tough call but I think it will grade.

[James_OldeTowne]

And the answer is .... BAGGED FOR PVC!

 

I agree with this assessment, as that is what the green slimy stuff is on the coin. I'm not so sure it's been cleaned, and in hand, believe it or not, a strong light shows significant remaining mint luster. I am going to get it conserved, and if successful, I feel EF-40 is a lock, with 45 a possibility.

 

Are these GONG threads useful?

 

THANKS for all the GONGs!

[Coindude]

I haven't seen the grade yet, but I'm gonna go BB due to rim damage.

Does "get it conserved" mean sending it to NCS? Acetone would be a more economical route, and would get rid of the PVC.

Let's just say - I'm not paying for conservation of this particular piece ...

[Schatzy]

James.....do you think you could wait more 8 hours before you post the answer. I love your posts but I don't usually even get to post before you post the answer.

 

Thanks Jaime
