  Any picture?... it would help. Try Acetone (pure) first..... another good trick is to insert it into a raw potato... let it set for a day and then rinse with alcohol. Have no idea what it is - a picture would help. Cheers, RickO

  Looks like someone cracked his skull open, and his brains leaked out.

  I've seen some rusty Buffs, but not quite that bad. That one looks like it was dipped in acid or buried for a long time.

  A Nic-A-Lene Kit will remove the mess, leaving a pitted but bright coin.
