Need help identifying 1794 penny

Can anyone identify the variety? The coin is badly corroded but still is a 1794. Also how do I remove PVC?

    Acetone for PVC.... cannot help with variety... will be amazed if anyone can - however, I have been wrong before (even yesterday I made a mistake). image Cheers, RickO

    Man, I think you accidentally ended up with a little copper on your corrosion.

    I thought acetone made copper a pinkish color?

    I would also guess Sheldon's Obverse 19 which is shared with S-43 and S-44 and since no obvious die-crack across the 1 and 7 which
    I think is characteristic of S-44; I would guess S-43 also.

    Funny thing is according to Sheldon the Reverse R (S-43) is the Weak OF reverse with the top of the "O" scarcely visible even on
    EF coins and on the coin pictured it seems the "O" is the only discernible letter.

    So what is S-43 in layman's terms?
