I opened the post, saw the green stain at the top, and was prepared to give you the usual answer. Then I scrolled down...
That's a nice looking double strike! I'm no expert when it comes to value but that should fetch somewhere in the two-digit range. It's a shame about the damage. The damage is mostly on the surface. Most of it came off with a dry paper towel. |

 to the CCF. Yes - that is a nice error indeed. There are known methods to manage that green corrosion. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

Yes, that is a double-struck LMC. The condition is not so good, so I wouldn't expect too much value, maybe $5-10.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

Very nice Double Strike! Although, that harsh cleaning just took away a ton of value. Should of just left it alone. That was a big mistake.
Errers and Varietys.

Definitely an error. Congrats! Cool looking coin. I' wouldn't sell that one, since it's not that much. Cool error none the less. Wonder what you used to clean it

Great find...put it on a window sill to get some tone back (few weeks). Flip it once in a while.

Ouch on that harsh cleaning - that removed at least 50% of the numismatic value from it's original corroded state.
We are here to support education - I wish you had asked questions on how to safely deal with the corrosion.
Still a cool error - but alas no longer of interest to most informed collectors.

How about making it your "pocket piece"? Maybe after awhile it will start looking better? John1 |

Actually, that's good advice.
