    That corrosion looks like it's still active. Perhaps a long soak in mineral oil would help it.

    Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

    It's odd, but I've seen a few that I would consider worse...at least you can see a lot of details on that one!

    I think a long soak in gin
    would help the owner!

    That's Edelman's which means someone likely pawned that sucker...and I'd still want it slabbed before I bought it. That obverse is damaged enough it could be a fake or an artificially aged Gallery Mint piece.

    I doubt that any major grading service would slab a coin with active corrosion.

    That is not the worst Chain cent I have ever seen. Many years ago I saw one at a New Jersey coin show that had the top two chain links barely showing on the reverse. That was the worst possible because it's hard to believe one could be identifiable with less. Perhaps if only the vines are bars and showing around the edge, but I believe the Wreath cents had the same edge design, but I could wrong about that. The only Wreath cent I've ever owned raw had the lettered edge.

    I think you might be missing the point.

    Who is this Parry Hall person that you speak of? It should go without saying that a fake coin wouldn't be slabbed by the major services. My point was that even if it were real the major grading services may not slab it due to active corrosion. They won't slab a genuine coin with active PVC.

    I've seen a disturbing number of expensive copper coins with active corrosion / PVC in first world TPG holders.
