I would do the distilled water, acetone bath, and finish with the VerdiCare. It'll help to stabilize the verdigris even if it doesn't carry it...
@Hookman That is really unusual. But, for a buck at a time...
@Mark webster I posted in your other thread, but will do so here for good measure. We will need better photos to make a better judgement....
PS - conserve that coin (don't clean it...conserve it!). The verdigris looks superficial at this point, but you don't want it to worsen.
Yes, it is an RPM (002). This is a link to the MDS for this:...
Hi Mark - can you get clearer pictures of your coin. Don't freehand your photos; use a heavy object to rest your phone on and steady your camera....
Looking forward to the photos. Take good ones for the obverse and reverse. Your fellow enthusiasts can offer a proper grade perhaps. Glad you...
Yes. The 1921 2-feather lists for $135 in VF20. Only $26 for the 3-feathered normal Buffalo.
Coins like this tend to stand out amongst the rest, but unless you are building an environmentally toned coin collection, there is no real value....
Looking at the Cherrypickers' Guide, it looks like a 2 feather variety for other dates lists for about $50 more than the normal 3 feather design...
I don't see it listed in the Cherrypickers' Guide, but it does look like the other date specimens in the book. Hopefully someone with better...
Yes, it's hard to say to be definitive. But Mary can flip it over and over to see if there is an association between the two.
It may be damaged. I see something going on at 1 o'clock on the obverse which roughly translates to the 5 o'clock position on the reverse. You...
With a more significant DDR, you should be able to attribute with an overlay approach. As noted, different die states have different markers, so...
This looks like a normal cent to me. Split plating throughout the reverse; more significant than typically seen. Coin looks cleaned as well....
That’s an incredible find. I’ve found the 1995-1DO-001 but not yours. That’s the best one from 1995. Mine is third best.
My paper routes (morning and afternoon papers) helped me generate a ton of change in the late 70s/early 80s. It really hurt sometimes; save the...
That would make me smile! I recall once that I was about to receive a Buffalo nickel in change when the cashier noticed that it looked different....
@bruthajoe Unless you have some special attachment to the coin, I think you would do better to find a slabbed specimen that you really like....
OK, 7-7-7. Jackpot!!!
