2 Silver & 10 Wheats Best looking Merc!

[chukers]

We got to hunt another old house... the yard had no grass and was extremely easy to dig... so we just knew it would be a good hunt... I found 10 wheats 3 44's 3 42's 3 41's and a 1916. I also found a sweet 16 pendant it says STER on the back...also I found a 1920 Mercery... at the time I thought it was a 1921 and I was excited knowing how good of shape it was... but its a 1920 and I know I may have said this before but as far as the detail this has to be the best looking mercury I have ever seen come out of the ground except for the dirt blasting it got over the years. I think it could grade XF... wow if it was a 1921 I could of had a several hundred dollar coin! but its just a 1920... so close!

4 wheats were in one hole 2 were in another..

My partner go his first ever silver quarter... 1943

Nice finds,
How do you clean your silver?
I have a sterling silver chain bracelet i need to clean that is tarnished black/gray in some places, and also has some blue oxidation.
Any advice?

The best thing I use for cleaning silver is baking soda and water being it a bracelet you can soak it or scrub it with a soft tooth brush... might take a bit more work if the initial cleaning don't work.

The more I look at the more I am amazed that there is no wear at all on this coin... except the background being so rough. I guess a brand new coin inn the ground for over 90 years couldn't look any better!

Great merc and thanks for the tips on cleaning

now as far as silver coins... don't clean them other than with a soft tooth brush and baking soda and at that very lightly... if its a key date I wouldn't even do that!
