    if corrosion nothing can be done to un-corrode it.
    if some organic crud then a soak in acetone may help some

    Judging by the look of it, you have nothing to lose.

    Thanks for the suggestions.The reason I asked,is because it's a 1934-D,Micro D,Vam 4.Very tough Vam to come across and was thinking of how to preserve it.

    You could send it to NCS and see if they could do anything about it.

    That bird has been tarred and feathered! Bury the carcass.

    mineral oil soak might help.

    The xoin is what it is. I'd give it a godd and safe acetone treatment to see what you do have. Very nice VAM for sure anyway. The obverse isn't terribly worrisome. The reverse though? Good luck!
