It had a bunch of crap on it so I cleaned it with vinegar... It was not a good idea at all, all I have now is a copper round.

Look on the brighter side, had you used electralysis, you would have had nothing at all...

You have learned a great lesson and only by first-hand experience...won't be repeated

Sorry it did not turn out better for you.

Yesterday I think I found two 1909s but they are both pretty dirty. I'm waiting until I have some quality time to try and clean them up. Came from the same park that I found a 1914 D last month but that one was in really bad shape.

Tell ya what...send the 1914D to me for safe keeping so you won't destroy it accidentally...or trade it for a 1919

That wasn't a good idea. I cleaned some wheaties of no significant value and I'll never do it again. If you don't do it too long they will look somewhat new again. I'd prefer to leave them alone other than peroxide or soap and water Darn a 1909 vdb ruined If they are in good shape they can be worth some bucks
