Doesn't really look silver and weird parallel die lines Doesn't look like most silver coins Was completely greenish black Corrosion layer so I dipped so I could read it eBay sale if this could be a good coin Looking to sell on eBay if it appears correct by our helpful members
Pronouncing it authentic is beyond my expertise, although I don't see any real reason to doubt it. However, you've destroyed any numismatic value the coin had by cleaning it so harshly - looks like it's had a wire brush taken to it - so it's not really worth selling any more.
You're showing a 1909-S. Probably in that condition you're lucky to get over melt for it. I don't see an issue on the authenticity.
Yea typo on 1909 The "wire brush" appeared when dipped about 3 second then rinsed and spot cleaned with with qtip. I do not normally clean coins but as stated had greenish black coating in this case
that green stuff was from PVC damage from being in plastic to long. you could have cleaned it with pure acetone and carefully removed it.
The coin is sea salvaged, which is common for US admin Philippines silver coins. A veritable butt-load of them were dumped in the ocean to avoid being captured by the Japanese at the end of WWII.
This. The hairlines were likely there before you cleaned it, then, having been done when the coin was intially recovered.
