    How to make a grown man cry

    This is so sad. I have looked at thousands of earlobes, found a couple 1997, now this. What a shame.

    Very little wear, but terribly corroded. Do you think it can be "conserved"?

    Nice find however you are right it is well corroded, but try some Verdi-Gone to see if you can get some of it off. Still a keeper until another one comes along.

        A nice find, but alas that corrosion!

        Be careful, you could make it worse if you do the wrong thing. If you use Verdigone check with Thad and see if he thinks it will help beforehand. Goo gone might do something, not sure...

          Also agree, real nice find, but a bummer on the condition.

          As Jason suggested, I would also check with Bad Thad about seeing if the Verdigone will help.

          Good luck,

          Hope you can restore it without any further damage.

              Every error or variety I find is available for trade. I'm trying to fill all the holes in my album. I still need the last four. 1909S VDB, 1914D, 1922 Plain, 1955 Doubled die. My challenge is to complete the book without buying any. I mostly just search and trade.

              I admit, its a lot of fun finding stuff like this though.

                  I think it's the most prettiest thing I ever seen. Bless you, son!

                    DWK - i feel your pain

                    maybe you want to try some acetone on it and see what happens

                    TPG might put it in a slab .... as genuine - just clean the heck out of it
