Yes, the reverse is definitely the good side and unfortunately the obverse is a lot more pitted.
Even if you can't get a date off of it, it's still an incredible find! |

Try some Sierra mist diet..let it soak for a day or 2, then scrub with a soft toothbrush.It always to all the corrosion off, sometimes it takes repeating a few times with a scrubbing in between

Oh well. It's better than it was.... it was buried in the ground. lol
I'd be tickled just to find one.
Congrats again!
I don't know if you want to try any other cleaning methods or notlol It takes all the green gunk off, but in the process it shows any pitting too. :-\ I did it to a nasty buffalo nickle I found in a cornfield .
I can't seem to find the before pic
But here's the after effect.
The back is alot nicer.
