@paralyse - can you tell me where the cleaning marks are? I am not questioning your opinion, I just want to know what to look for.
What kind of a value would the cleaning and environmental damage take off of the value?
I can look up VF prices, but no idea what the damage etc. would do to cost.

A damaged and disfigured coin such as this is worth very little. I would pay $10 and no more.

VF/XF details. Severe environmental damage. I agree with BH1964 on the pricing. This coin would be very difficult to sell due to the negative eye appeal.

I'd say EF details, and yep, only a cull coin at this stage. Too bad it was once a real looker I'd bet.

Correct. Technically a peacock blue, golden amber (a bit too yellow in real life for honey), 7-Up green, and royal purple. These were great guesses though - the pic being small throws it off. Since its my thread and I got the answers I wanted... here are some previously posted pics of more of them... but not all! There is another case with 200 to the left of the display in the last picture in the following series. Also un the last pic there are two rows hidden by the upper part of the curtain. Add to this two poles outisde and a section of fence made of crossarms, plus them lining my walk and brick wall - quote a few on display (and 10 totes holding about 50 or so each!)      And I just got done publishing an insulator reference guide containing an identification system for a certain kind of popular insulators, The book also is the first book of Brookfield Glass company history (largest glassmaker in USA in 1800s early 1900s). ...yeah... I am hooked  Like coins though, they have amazing history. If you want to talk about them sometime - PM me! How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

There are certain locations in the Midwest where those type of insulators are still on poles! I remember hunting them as a kid.
