I buy 1915-d buff's, as long as the date can be made-out, on ebay for $5. An acid dated 1915-d is worth about 20 cents. You should never use acid unless the date can not be identified.

May have suffered from ground burial for some time (years).

Despite being being cleaned,
now worth more than before, due to better eye appeal.

Some you win, some you loose. Sometimes worth taking the risk.
That is why almost all ancient coins recovered from ground burial are cleaned.

I actually forgot about this coin for several years. I ised a vinegar solution and soap and water. Same thing that I have been using to help restore some metal detecting finds. I actually forgot about this coin until recently. I think there is a fine line between "cleaning" and restoring. Who knows. May have been able to save more details if I had done it years ago but back then I didn't know as much as I do now. Personally I think it looks a lot better and am glad the coin can't be destroyed any longer. I don't sell my stuff anyways. If someone makes money off it one day, it wont be me! For me it just means more to me that I was able to safely restore it with a simple vinegar bath and soap and water.

Oh and it just came right off. No scraping or brushing. :) I hate seeing coins all scratched up from someone taking a toothbrush or wire brush to it
