That corrosion is terminal, can almost guarantee any attempt to remove would leave pitting. If it was my coin I'd give it a round of VC to neutralize any active corrosion (doubt you would see much improvement but can safeguard against future issues) and then send in to get slabbed.

It has value for sure. Just looked thru the archives on GC and a corroded VG8 (far worse corrosion than yours) sold for 175 a few years ago.
I swing a metal detector and have a knack for finding dirty old coins.

Sounds like I should consider submission on this one. Along with the 1807/8 split planchet before strike I posted in the variety and errors forum.
Thanks all for your input.

How about submitting it to NGC or PCGS and ask for conservation?

PCGS is the plan. Conservation definitely.

Not a bad looking coin considering how it looked before, especially the reverse. Nice result!
