    Ever since I started CRH I wanted one of these. I had so many I imagined were this one. It was totally green but I saw the WE and the 19 of the date sticking out of the goo and I knew right away. A few days in mineral oil and a couple of hours in Xylene cleaned 90% of the crap and I was able to photograph it in all of it's rotten glory.
    It's back in the oil now. Hopefully the green will all come off. I am so happy. So many boxes searched and I finally found som 84Date.jpg 84Dwe.jpg 84IGWT.jpg ething to put a real smile on my face.

    Hate to say it but it looks like die deterioration

    So terribly sorry about the condition, but happy you found it anyway!

    I'm so stoked. The condition of the coin is actually pretty good. It's not worn, it looks like it sat somewhere and rotted. I cleaned most of it off just by soaking, and am confident that the rest will come off. It will be corroded a little it's still beautiful.

    This one still has separation lines on the t's in trust. I haven't seen that on the pics available. That means it's an early die state without much wear. Now if I can soak off the crap..,..

    Hate to break it to you Bryant but it appears you haven't seen much class VII doubling or studied any 1984d dies. This is a significant and much sought after coin.
