Comments:
This coin came from a Harco album purchased on 1/22/2023 at a cost of $0.25 per modern coin. The majority of the coins in the album had moderate to severe PVC contamination, but I was able to restore almost every coin with extensive acetone baths, and this coin is no exception. It replaces another homemade coin of the same grade that came from the same Harris album as the 82P, 82D, and 83P in this collection. The current coin is a little cleaner and has better color.
