I generally post pics & ask what ya'lls opinion is without committing myself to a grade and/or variety. Thought I'd change that up just a little bit. I've got this one down as a small motto with F-12 details due to corrosion. How do you see it? Any ideas as to value?

Retail in F-12 is over $250 but corrosion obviously hits the value pretty hard. I expect you could get $100 pretty easy, maybe $150 at most. Just a guess, though!
Rest in Peace

Probably more than $150 on ebay, many eBayers go nuts over this coin.

trdhrdr007 you pics need to be a little more detailed for an accurate grade.
I think your about right on the grade though I'm fairly sure ANACS would give it a VF20 details which would bump up the price for you a bit.

You might want to try Verdicare

I soaked this one in Verdicare for 48 hours. There were a few spots of the mean green on both sides. The ones that are still there are in some sort of pinhole. I haven't been able to find anything that is fine enough & non-metallic that will dislodge the green.

For mechanical corrosion removal- try a rose thorn, acacia thorn, stim-u-dent toothpick, or a porcupine quill.
