I love to hear someone call it an AU, but, alas! That remains my wish.

Greysheet: XF45 $110
AU50 $200 - shoot! (It's an XF, I know.)

Of course, finding a buyer is always the tricky part.

"For coins suffering from eye appeal, a mixture of equal parts of tar, strawberry jam, and tobacco spit will provide a quick remedy!"

Came right off after soaking for 10 minutes in acetone! I bought 13 coins thusly treated from this seller.

Um, why? How... uh...

Sorry. You broke the 20.00 rule. As a penalty you must forfeit this coin to the first person you find on this forum with a nickname of Earle42.

Nice find. Nice price. Nice job with the acetone👍🏻

Got $56 for it! More than 200% ROI! Yay! Now I can give the Weasel a break on the Matrons in the lot! And the buyer can make a killing too!

(I shoulda waited.)
