Details of a mid-grade AU, this was recovered out of a lot of coin long stored in a leather purse. As commonly occurs with this type of storage, the surfaces were covered by "purse gunk", which I removed with a coin safe solvent. This material/contaminant is caused by a breakdown of the interior rough side of the tanned leather over time in the presence of moisture. Once removed, the surfaces looked a bit dull, not horribly but enough to make the coin look a bit "flat", so I treated the surfaces with Coin Care. This can easily be removed by a new owner should they choose with Acetone or something similar (won't hurt the coin). The Obverse die was a bit old as it shows two small areas of cuds on the rim. An old scratch on the Reverse is noted.

This seller has enabled "Manual Invoice Approval" on their account. This means that after you complete checkout, you will NOT be automatically redirected to PayPal (if applicable) and will not be able to complete payment immediately. Instead, the seller will review the invoice and may, or may not, add or subtract additional charges, as explained in their policies and/or listing description. When the invoice is updated and approved by the seller, you will receive an automated email notification later, and you will be able to pay the updated invoice as you would normally.
All checks must clear prior to payment of purchase, which may take up to 12 Business days. IF YOU CHOOSE TO PURCHASE MULTIPLE ITEMS, PLEASE WAIT FOR AN INVOICE PRIOR TO PAYMENT. I combine all shipping charges to the minimum necessary to get purchases to the customer. Please be aware that the USPS has recently increased postage for package shipments and Insurance - $7-$9 for shipping may look like a lot, but it barely covers my actual cost. If you have any questions, just ask.
