I originally posted this under todays find but the more I admire this coin the better it looks. So I just had to post it here. I found it back in August at an old homesite in Central, Ohio. So far, nothing else besides a Merc has come out of here.
I did a little more cleaning on it with my elecric toothbrush and some fine toothpaste. I added a little vegetable oil on wiped it dry. I think the cleaning removed a little of the brown as it looks more greenish (patina) then before. You can read the whole story under todays finds.
Thanks for looking. Ron
