Whoa...tough coin to grade. What do you think in hand?
XF45/details? (dug coin?)
The woodie obverse with the slight scuff makes this one tough to grade for me.

Quote: (dug coin?) Not a dug coin. Well, actually I just dug out my old blue Whitman folder after 50+ yrs. All from roll searching in the 50's. No S-VDB or 14D, all other wheaties out of circ.

WOW! Very nice coin! EZ EF-40/45 You need to take some steps RIGHT AWAY to halt that verdigris in the mottos. Rinse this coin with some quality acetone and put it into an airtite holder. This will arrest the corrosion process. That is ALL you should attempt to do! This is a $200+ coin.

BadThad, you said rinse in acetone. Why not your own product verdi-care?

Possibly that jewlery cleaner from Walmart?  Reallllllllllly don't do that. As noted just get some Acetone and Distilled water and nothing else. Nice coin for my Albums. I would put that one in one of my Albums for sure.
