Well, if I thought this coin had any potential for identification I would tell you there are ways to clean and ways not to clean. Sanding is one...
BTW, next time try showing both sides of any given coin. Many times one side will give a clue to the other.
Welcome Joey, but that coin is a bit too far gone.
Believe it or not, but I bid on another coin like this just tonight, but was out-sniped. Oh, it wasn't near this nice, but nice enough for me....
