Looks like it was hanging out in the rain forest.

    Greenish is better than black, which is how I find some of them, or worse, harshly cleaned. The tropical climate is tough on those old coins. Copper ones look even worse.

    Nice catch -- I'd take one of those in any condition! image

    Well, first let me express my chagrin that I photographed the coin's obverse upside down. image

    I think that the only reason I was able to obtain this coin is that the vendor lives probably less than 5 miles from me. When his fixed price list came out, I may have been the first to receive it in the mail. In fact, he told me that I was the first person to respond to the new list.

    Most of my other fixed list vendors seem to be in California, so I am not an earlier recipient, here in New York.

    Maybe an acetone bath would help, looks like PVC poison from the location and color.image
