Found at the same Baptist Church parsonage where I dug the Civil War era match safe. I couldn't read the last two numbers of the date after brushing the dried dirt so I decided to do a hot peroxide dip and Q tip after a few hours. I then was able to see the date but not without a magnifying glass. Continued to do three more dips/cleans but it didn't get much better. Since I'm keeping the coin and its not a rare date I did the worn #600 sand paper treatment just to get the date and other features to stand out a bit and this is how she looks...Love these big coins!!
