Popular Post GBrad Posted December 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 24, 2020 Maybe, just maybe, I found a neat transitional here but I don’t want to mess up. This looks very promising with what appears to be a well defined tail on the G but I’m going to need to remove the gunk for the final verdict. There’s enough showing on the initials that I think this is the real deal. Not worth a fortune but I’ve really been wanting to add this one to my collection. Should I leave it be or do the acetone cleaning thing? (Sorry Coinbuf if my pics are the size of dinner plates..... I’m still working on that.... ). Thanks!

Greenstang Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 No maybes about this one Greg, you got it. That is a 89 Reverse on a 88.Both the F & G verify that. Never hurts to clean coins in acetone, it may remove the gunk or at least loosen it where you could remove it. MAULEMALL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coinbuf Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 I agree you have found one. Some acetone should remove the green and you will be good. And btw I love your photos. GBrad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBrad Posted December 25, 2020 Author Share Posted December 25, 2020 Here’s a pic of the FG after a little acetone cleanup to get rid of all the gunk. The obverse actually has some beautiful toning as well. Nice little Christmas present find no doubt. Thanks to all who commented on this, I really appreciate it!
