    Know exactly how you feel. We lost ours a little over 2 years ago. Just not the same.

    Yikes! That looks like active corrosion. You may want to send it to PCGS to get it conserved although it looks like it may be too late. :'(

    Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

    Thanks Perry Hall. I bought this in early 2012 from IrishMike here on the BST. At the time it was the "cover coin" on shylock's website, indianhead.org (no longer active). The clashing is very strong on both obverse and reverse and I think that was for the placement.

    Anyway, at that time it was felt that the corrosion was beyond conservation's help. I'd shown it to a couple of dealer friends and they agreed with that opinion. The spot hasn't changed much in that time but if someone here feels as though conservation may help I'd be willing to try.

    Here's a pic from shylock's website which would have been at least 12 years ago:

    I would let the coin conservation experts at PCGS take a look at it and advise you as to your options. If you decide to just keep it as is, I suggest that you store it in a ziplock bag with a silica gel desiccant canister to eliminate most of the humidity around the slab which should greatly reduce any future growth of the corrosion. That clash mark is really cool and it appears to be an otherwise very nice coin.

    My dad and mom's (RIP) birth years.
    They're long gone but never forgotten. Our loved ones who died ( including pets) leave a spot >>> :heart:
    ... and let's hope they save us a spot.

    Very few of my coins have spots, but this one does.
    And yes, I’m very fond of this coin!
