Large One Cent

[FlightRisk]

Today I installed a new 5x8 DD on my ace 250 and I went to my park that had an old school on it from the 1800's dug up a bunch of clad and the ground coughed up this bad boy.

It rang up as quarter about 4" down

Just water...what should I do to clean it?

I was thinking a mild rubbing with a wooden toothpick.

Congrats on the LC. I wouldn't try to clean it any more. I think you'll loose more detail if you do. JMHO
