Would this grade Good details? I got this for free by a CCF member a long time ago.   Errers and Varietys.

Thank you, DOCC for your comment. It looks like a metal detecting find. I wonder if I should try conserving it with Verdi-Care or just leave it alone?

Leave it alone, can't do much more at this point.

If it's going to details anyway, I would probably want to at least try to make it look a little better... maybe that's just me.  Cool old IHC though! |

Wow! That's one rough dude!  Should be "Good-Details". |

Might be a decent example to try some 'conservative' conservation techniques on--discover what works, and what to avoid.

Thank you for the comments. Since it's going to have the details grade no matter what, I might try using Verdi-Care on it. I want to try to make it look better.

Already details so I would experiment. Really tough to discern the fields - is that buildup, corrosion, or bare metal? Pitting visible? Almost looks like someone tried to conserve before you received.

Good coin to pass on to a young collector. If you want a problem-free example with comparable detail it should only cost a buck or two.

Thank you, Jaobler. Good suggestion.  I'll probably get an upgrade at some point. Thankfully I got this for free, so I didn't lose any money. Errers and Varietys.
