Help to grade CBH!

[Brol]

I must confess that I never had a chance to hold any CBH in my hands before, and I bought this one sight unseen in non-NGC-PCGS holder

 

What do you think about the grade? Would NGC grade it?

As is, they would not grade it. There is active PVC or corrosion evident on both sides. A treatment with acetone, or a trip to NCS, should fix the problem.

 

I'd grade it AU-50 details, right now.

Does the coin really look as yellow as the photo ??

It looks to be around Au 50 , however based on the photo I dont see it getting into anything other then a details holder.

 

 

I am going to edit what I said about the coin . I still say Au 50 and take back the comment about the details grade as I am on the fence about that. I don’t see clearly the PVC or corrosion that Jason mentioned . I can see why he would make the PVC comment as there are some suspicious areas. I don’t see any corrosion. The coin may have some Verdigris which in itself will not put a coin in a details holder. I am going to assume the color balance was way off on the photo – can you post a better photo ??

AU slider. I think XF-48 is a possibility though.

Phosphorescent yellow - XF45.

I'll go with AU50. But it is not possible to say much more with out seeing true color photos. Sure would like to see some cleaner photos. Looks like an O-107 R3.

Give it an acetone bath, take new pictures, and then let me guess again. There are green spots under the date, outside of stars 3 and 11, and along the right side of the reverse.

I will try to make a new pictures tonight after I will crack her out of current ICG slab.

 

Thanks for all the comments!

I think those green spots might be Verdigris , those are the suspicious areas I mentioned.

I think I overexposed my first pictures, so this time I didn't do anything for them, except cropping. I think I start see the areas with verdigris or PVC.. I think..

I would call the coin XF45, shot 50 except that the coin has active PVC. As is, it should be in a "details" holder; however, I think the coin can likely be conserved (i.e. it is likely not too late) to give it a bath in acetone to remove the PVC.

[Mark T]

Based on the new photos that is not Verdigris - most likely it is PVC .

[physics-fan3.14]

Yes, I think it is PVC. Rinse it in acetone.

 

I will also add that with the new pictures, I would grade it EF-45.

[Brol]

Thank you guys. I will try to rinse it in acetone.
