Maybe acetone first then Verdicare.

I think the coin technically would grade AU53. The haze may clear off after a soak but the spot in the reverse middle could result in a deeper corrosion that would result in an AU details grade. Do I spy a die break under the date?

Maybe Thad will chime in, but I am thinking acetone, maybe xylene, then a soak in VerdiCare.
Yes, there is a die crack from the date to the rim, a well used pair of dies on this one. It has "character"

AU-50 - AU-53 reverse might be treated with verdicare.

I made a gif to display it better........... I don't know how to make it small enough to put here.  Really nice difference. The coin looks beyond better. |

Funny thing about lighting, the coin isn't really that much darker, the after pictures are closer to actual color than the before pics were. but the corrosion is stopped!

That's a really nice coin. And a good advertisement for Verdi-Care  |

Great conservation! The coin looked to have a thin, white verdigris film over it....VC took care of that and it may have effected your lighting.

That is definitely some good advertisement and I will definitely be getting some! Question...I'm sure it doesn't but has anyone sent any coins into a TPG and have it come back 'cleaned'? It's probably undetectable from what I read in the ad last night but I'm just curious thanks |
