@JC thank you for the link. That looks pretty darn close to this one. Will update later this evening when I find out how it goes. If a real big spender bids I probably won't be able to afford it but I'm gonna try my best! lol

BREAKING NEWS: I won this coin. It took a little doing and paid more than I was hoping for (go figure lol full disclosure gave $77 errr) A few late bidders came in which I expected but held my ground (to my detriment and wallet) but really want to see one in person. I should be able to pick it up tomorrow and will try to get hopefully some better pictures posted here.

Congratulations, MakesNoCentsToMe!  I don't think that you overpaid for that beauty - it's a wonderful Cud! And as you may have gathered from the responses, these are few and far between, so you did quite well. I would have paid that, and actually more had I been there. You should consider sending it off for slabbing.

That greenish tint might be pvc residue.
Try soaking in acetone to see if it will come off.

That is a GREAT edge on image!! it shows the Cud rising up above the obverse design elements, and the reverse in the same area is lifted a little due to the lack of pressure.

@Pete I do have acetone. What do you think like maybe 24 hours of soaking?

I would start off slow with 5-10 mins and see how it affects "the green". Then longer if you see some improvement.
Fresh acetone each time and a final rinse with distilled or filtered water.

Before I read your post Pete I soaked for about an hour. Then used a Q-Tip. I did get some green residue off but there is still more. Will have to use an air-tight container next time as the acetone evaporates rapidly.

I saw also the side (reeds) has green. The acetone will not do the job. In fact in artifact restoration the acetone is never use. Your green come from the Cu and not from Ni oxide. To clean this other solutes or procedures must be employ with the consideration of the Ni presence. If was just Cu coin I was put you (send private) the table of procedures and what could be use.
The most simple way if you has the equipment (because the green is in the early phases) is boil in 35% boric acid for 3 to 5 min, then in an dark room apply 240-280 nm UV at 60 deg C solute for 2 min. Took the coin out, wash with boric mild soap (baby soap) in warm water and dry without fronting. Mention in the boiling and UV apply procedure the coin must be suspend ( I use big cheese tissue).
Good luck, Silvio

Thank you for sharing that procedure for the silver, Silvio.
I think the acetone works on PVC residue but only if it is a very light case.
