<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 36733, member: 78"]Hi Sue,</p><p> Soak it in oil, you have nothing to lose. If it is really corroded it has minimal value after a soak you may be suprized. When I was living in Brooklyn the city dig up an old playground and removed several layers of cement and black top. I found several coins which I could not even ID since they were so bad. A month long soak got rid of most of it and you could at least see the year they were minted.
