While md'ing in a local schoolyard today, I unearthed an extremely corroded copper coin. My first impression was a large cent. However, after some gentle washing with warm soapy water, I realized it was a 1837 Hard Times "Illustrious Predecessor Executive Experiment" Token. Its in really rough shape. Does anyone have ideas/ recommendations about how I can clean up this unusual find and bring out more of this token's details?
