It doesn't look like it's War much. Actually pretty good the only deal and I got pictures it's green looking and pits are in it now I don't think the pictures give it justice

Id say mid-VF for average grade, and a soak in 100% pure acetone wouldn't hurt any, except the mild corrosion will be an issue.

I'll say VF/EF details (severe ED).

photos are poor to assess from but the coin would be allocated a details designation for environmental damage. its a filler and not recoverable as the corrosion is too severe

It's too bad corrosion just eats up these old indians. I hate to see a nice AU/MS example with corrosion.

Hmmm, you do have a point about conservation, not sure if PCGS has a service like that, but NGC definitely does.

Let me state with conviction that this coin is beyond conservation, and will never be worth more than a dollar no matter how much you spend on it.
Rest in Peace

You're right it won't be not in anybody other than me but understand when I found her she was green and she was beautiful she caught my eye now should I let her die or preserve her.
