Can this coin be saved?

This would properly be posted in "Ask Ncs", but I wanted to get some opinions from you guys. Link

It's hard to imagine that a coin like that wouldn't look silly with "conservation". And even if it could be "saved" the cost would be high relative to the vale of the coin. Why not pursue one which you are happy with, as is?

No!

[WinstonWare]

I don't think it looks bad as is

[TomB]

It looks perfectly acceptable to me as is.

[harvey8542]

I wouldn't mind owning that

[gmarguli]

Looks corroded.

Looks corroded.

 

I agree but the corrosion is not that bad.

[bsshog40]

I agree it looks corroded but also looks as tho' the corrosion has gotten into the metal in some spots. If you're looking to purchase, I would look for a better coin. This coin looks to be no better than EF and only about a $90-120 coin. With the corrosion, you could never get it slabbed by a top tpg in my opinion.

If you like it buy it, but don't waste your money conserving it.

Hey, guys, thanks for the response. I wasn't actually looking to buy it, I just noticed it on the D.L. website, and thought I might use it to further my education. Incidentally, I didn't see the end, but I think it went for around $50.

Agreed the only thing making it look bad is that stupid PCI slab

i like it!

[BillJones]

For a coin that has been graded Fine-15, it looks OK to me. I'd leave it alone. If it were to be "saved" it would look like .

From the picture, I do not see any problems withe this coin. It does have dirt on it (as many Bust halves do), but that can be removed through conservation. If there is any corrosion on the coin, then it cannot be corrected, nor would it be worthwhile.
