I picked this up today for $50 (no need to beat around the bush).
I think it was a great deal.
It was brought to my attention that there is PVC damage.
What do you guys think?
What could I expect for this with the damage?
Don't mind the MS-64...

Nice. Try an acetone dip and if that doesn't do the trick how about a Verdi-Care dip? Don't try either of these ideas until a pro chimes in.

For grading don't look at the toning or corrosion. Look for wear. No wear means, by default, MS grade.

The vegetation under the date needs to be dealt with. Verdi-Care and little tooth pick work will help keep it in check.

The rest might clean up a little bit with acetone but the toning is yours :)

Edit: Sorry, didn't see that it's a large pic. What is that green stuff? Looks like jam. I'd do the acetone soak first. It won't hurt the coin.

That's pvc from the plastic holder it was in for a long time.
What kind of a value would you put on it?
