VF Details (corroded) - looks like an old dug coin

I agree. Definitely think it was dug. Do you think a Verdicare bath would do it some good?

verdicare may help a little. probably would take several soaks and I dont think it would clean up too much of whats going on but it cant hurt

I can't decide if the Verdi-care (only one soak) helped our the hurt the appearance. Maybe I went a little too long.

it got rid of some crud around the letters. Overall I don't think it hurt anything.

I don't think it hurt anything either. I also would not do anything else to it. There's no fixing corrosion. Still a very cool draped bust cent variety to have in one's collection.

I think it looks marginally better, but not much you can do about that corrosion. It's a Sheldon-220 if you're interested.

Errers and Varietys.

nothing was going to remove all of that however it did bring out the devices more. I think its better but I would leave be at this point.
