nothin will help that piece. as anyone that has a metal detector will tell you, that was a ground find, and if you remove the rest of the corrosion, it will have gaping craters. it would look much worse than it does now. the easy to remove corrsion has already been removed. too bad it wasnt found in a sandy area
regardless of how many posts I have, I don't consider myself an "expert" at anything
One of the holy grails in the metal detecting community. Obvious a metal detector find. Terrible condition, but to recover a 135 year old coin, lost in circulation, that ain't seen the light of day for over a century...priceless....Two different worlds collided. Don't knock it.. The guy/gal found lost money and is getting paid for it. Nothing wrong with that.
No offense but I thought Stacks/Bowers would have a bit more class than to offer something like that in a major auction, scarce date or no. That looks like something you'd see on eBay.

I can't link diddly with my iPad. Maybe once I get on my lap top.
That sure is one colorful rare IHC... I would not own that coin for free. sorry.

Ah, sheez guys, I bet it closed north of $300.
Not for me, but is for others who desire the date and want it certified, on the cheap.
