1909-S VDB found

[coinshooter]

Found this 4/26 on an old lot.
Posted it in general discussion trying to figure out how to get it cleaned up. Here's my result.
I know people don't always look at general discussion and it was not noted there much because that post was really more about how do I clean it. So, here is the finished product for now.

Look at the sharp lines on the wheat ears! That was a new coin when it went in. I agree, no further cleaning. Take it to a pro. Nice Nice one

Wow... As most stated already, id leave it alone. Thinking though, i seem to recall someone saying that the green oxidation will continue if u don't have it neutralized...
Heck of a coin and condition to find in the dirt!!!

I've had good luck using Ketchup to clean pennys - might want to try that. Congrats on an awesome find. Just kidding about the ketchup
