The black spots in the middle of big brown spots are probably beyond repair. As someone else mentioned, The Silver War Nickels are made of an odd...
The stuff between "WE" and "TRUST" is raised. It's probably mostly crud, but it might have something under it.
The sharpness grade is EF-AU. The question is, what is the black stuff? If it's crud that can be removed easily, it's a potentially nice coin....
