        Thank you very much Jim! The obverse is better than the reverse is but nothing bad, a small amount of verdigris but you can see red, nothing that majorly stands out and makes you think "ewww" I've never had a coin slabbed so I will need some guidance with that!

          Thank you very much Bob! If you can imagine my normal coin excitement times 100, there ya go! I do not have Verdi-care but now is a good time to get it! I have seen what Verdi-care does to conserve coins and this one is certainly worth it! Thank you so much for offering your help and guidance, that means a lot Bob!

              Thank you very much Ed! I do want to get some Verdi-care, think it can be ordered online. Then off to PCGS it goes! Once I figure out how that works!

                Envy, envy, envy here. Probably one the biggest picks of the year on this forum. My best congrats to you. If you decide to slab it, you can always piggy back on a submission with me to PCGS.

                  Thank you so much Bob! I really appreciate your offer to piggy back this with one of your submissions to PCGS! I would love to do that, thank you!!!

                    HOLY MOLY!!!!! What a great, awesome, fantastic find indeed Vivien....I would have fell off my computer chair and held my heart for sure saying"I'm coming Elizabeth".......See that is why I love searching you never know what will land in your hands.....Also just to see how the coins circulate from state to state is something also.....Way to go and to a very giving person.....

                      Thank you so much Patrick! The scene was very close to what you are describing, almost fell out and my heart was racing! Keep in mind it was 1:30 am... and I have to get up at 5 am for work! I could not get to sleep... at one point I was just going to make coffee and stay awake. But, finally dozed off to sleep! Is Elizabeth a loved one?

                        Not sure it needs verdi-care, probably wouldn't hurt. If it's only dirty and nothing growing or green I might only acetone to get greasy stuff reduced. It looks like it would grade as it is so be careful. Nice of Bob to offer it to tag along, that saves you a bunch of work.

                        Isn't it strange how one big find can be the pay for all the searching you did, all in that second when you spot it, happy dance time

                        I bet your heart skipped and you flipped it to verify "is it really a 92-D" in disbelief LOL.

                          Ed, it has some verdigris, a little on the obverse and a tad more on the reverse and it's dirty so I think Verdi-care is a great idea. Yes, I really appreciate Bob Watersport's offer to help with the PCGS submission, that was so kind! You know I'm running on excitement energy!

                              Thank you very much Ken! I was with my daughter at a different bank branch when I picked up this brick and she said... Mom, maybe this brick will be special! You just never know when that next roll will be the one to find something great!

                                There are plenty of folks here to help you out... I have only had 2 coins slabbed so that kind of leaves me out on the knowledgeable end of slabbing... I wish Jason Cuv. was back on with us... He could take some excellent photos... I am sure your discovery will make it into Coin World!!!
