If it bothers you, and the conservation would improve the coins appearence, then yes, it's definetly worth it.

Is this a candidate for conservation?

Depends. Is there something on the coin that is causing it to deteriorate?

dorkkarl

what's wrong w/ the coin? do you see it deteriorating?

if you just don't like the tone, sell the coin & buy 1 you do like. it's a simple solution. ie. why did you buy a coin that you might not like?

Leave that beauty alone. Like others have said, if you don't like it sell it and get one you like.

What year/mm is it?

The toning is too deep. Leave it be. Conservation should be used for light surface contamination or surface stabilization. On a coin like that, you'd end up with an ugly washed out piece, and you might get the unpleasant surprise of finding a bunch of hairlines.

There's a lot of glare off the slab, but that toning looks too deep for dipping; so no it's not a candidate.

I'd leave it alone. I see what appears to be milk spots. "Conserving" the coin would cause more contrast beween the "milk spot" and the freshly revealed metal.

Russ is probably right but the tone could be light enough for it to dip out well.
Probably dipped years ago and that is the retoning from it and it will probaly continue to detoriate.
