Never heard of a way to take scratches like that out ..
This coin will never have the value of a problem free coin.
For me this is the type coin you can use as a learning tool.
To see if you can get the verdigris off with out hurting the
coin any further.
Wire brush is not a approved procedure!

what a shame.
I wonder when that happened.... if it was when the coins was just a few years old, well ohh well. If it was in the last 100 years then that is maddening...

to be honest I wouldn't waste money on thad-juice since it has already been scrubbed, I would just try other iotems I already had to get the stuff off

The only way to help this coin is to put it in your pocket with your other coins and carry it for possible several years until it get worn down enough to remove the scratches. You'll probably lose several grade levels in the process. Get it down to a VF or Fine and it will probably be OK.

Should I just go ahead and clean it, or any better ideas?
