@ashland.... I am curious... How did it get saltwater damage??.... Certainly could be cleaned up a bit, but the underlying damage may not be worth the effort. Cheers, RickO

A guy came into the B&M that I work at and had several like this. They were in a flood in Florida somewhere. He didn’t sell them !

I know it’s probably not worth it but could that be carefully removed and properly conserved/restored/saved? Or is it definitely no good?
I’d say they’re way too far gone. Melting is the only salvage in my opinion.

Spend it anyway! It might contaminate your house!

Saltwater damage? Edited to add, I guess I should read your post before asking questions.
Might as well give it a harsh dip. Can't hurt it any more than it is.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
break it out, chip off the chunks and sell that emerald toned proof dollar
Don't give any knuckleheads ideas cause it could become an Atocha Ike! Aye carramba. Peace Roy

Give it a try - dip. Otherwise spend at drive thru?

the toning is natural.
It looks like a nice coin to experiment on although it is unlikely to be fixable.
Trying anything certainly won't make it any worse
