I'm closer to VF30 details but yes still E.D.

 with the "moderate but not heavy" environmental damage but to my eyes  approaching the XF realm, so VF-35, ED... A good long soak in 100% acetone or verdi-care might do wonders for this coin  Edited by mrwhatisit

Once the metal is already deeply pitted, verdi-care or acetone are lost causes, and this coin has deep pitting in several places.

I appreciate the feedback. It looks better in hand than in the pics, I believe. I paid $20 for it so it is what it is.

I soaked it about 24 hours in verdicare and thought it made an improvement on it.   |

i think the verdicare was not a bad idea. at minimum it stabilized the verdigris and helped preserve it
