If you want to sell the coin the NCS and NCG may be the way to go. If you want to keep the coin for your family It might be better to keep it as it is. The coin has a great history and shows it.
Even after conservation the coin may not look the way it did before the flood.


I would normally agree, but this case is an exception. It's a high-dollar coin, and the owner has no idea what substances may be on the coin which are a long-term danger. NCS/NGC, stat.

I "whole heartedly" agree this is a coin that deserves restitution..
if one decides to dip or clean it them selves it will turn to junk silver in about 3 seconds.......AS it sits now..its environmently damaged ....I think the cost to preserve is like 1% of the value
don't quote me its been a while since I looked at restoring a coin...but the cost is well worth it.....they should be able to tell you if its "GENUINE" before they even restore it..looks to be EF/AU or better...Thats a 1K coin...worth protecting the value....over $22 junk silver prices....
