    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?

    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.

    @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 ! :D

    I’d say they’re way too far gone. Melting is the only salvage in my opinion.

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

    It looks like a nice coin to experiment on although it is unlikely to be fixable.
