You could try using pure acetone and Verdi-Care to see if that helps. Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys Yesterday 5:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Finn70 Valued Member United States 257 Posts	Posted Yesterday 10:36 pm To me it looks like an 1867 with rays. You can see the rays on the reverse. I agree with E&V in soaking your coin in 100% pure acetone for a bit more detail. It wouldn't hurt as the coin is pretty much a goner anyway.
