Worth the clean? https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces2220.html This is the coin, I can't read the year because of oxidation? Can I clean it? Is it worth the trouble?

However, you can restore much of it's former glory. Please see this thread Carrscoins posted about his 1803 US Large Cent restoration project. http://goccf.com/t/435186 Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
Wade Pillar of the Community Canada 2781 Posts	Posted 02/03/2023 12:51 pm cleaning won't increase the value. can't hurt the value though either (it's not worth much in good shape). even if it was the key date 1887 a collector would want an example without the environmental damage (especially this much crud) clean it if you want to, but you'd only be doing for yourself.
