Need help with this 1914-D wheat

[Goes4ever]

bought some coins and this 1914-D was in the lot, do you think a peroxide bath would remove the green from it? Would it help or hurt the coin? What do you think it would be worth?

Awesome find! I'm not really sure what you should do. It's probably best to not mess around with it though.

The green is verdigris and is attacking the copper like a cancer. Peroxide will not help stop the chemical process. It needs a soak in a product called Verti-gone. Just Google it and get ya some. Nice coin!

Considering the rarity of a coin, you might look into a professional coin cleaning service. I don't know how expensive it is though...

well I did the peroxide bath for 3 minutes....all the green came off no problem, coin is way nicer now. Listed in on eBay and it ends tomorrow. Currently it is up to $105.06

not bad considering I paid $20 bucks for it!

Not bad at all. I'll be interested to see what it goes for.

That's a heck of a sell! The 14d's are going for big money, even cleaned. Hey Hogge we should get together some time, we're right down in Sheffield!
