Amazing find.

Agree with the need to arrest whatever is going on.

Follow BadThad's polarity ladder first...

If the green is still there, then use Verdi Care.

I started following Badthad's polarity ladder and have the coin sitting in a glass jar of distilled water. Thanks for all the replies. I wonder if this was caused by storage in a album.

It could have been, which is why I recommend following those steps. Let us know how it turns out.

Likely the best IHC I have seen posted on here in several years that was found during roll hunting

Great find

Hope the corrosion issue gets taken care of

Good luck

That coin spent a lot of time out of circulation.

I suspect it was acquired from a collector (through inheritance or nefarious means) and then spent/dumped. However, there is a chance that the collector spent it and hoped it would end up in the right hands. Then again, maybe it sat in a mason jar for over one hundred years.

I soaked this coin in distilled water for several days changing the water about every 12 hours. That had little effect. I had it in acetone overnight followed by dipping it in distilled water. That didn't seem to improve it either. The latest pics do not capture the detail on this coin. The outdoor lighting wasn't right.
