28 cents......🤷‍♂️

[WHADIFIND]

Still......first some odd reason....I've been smiling all day long! 😊

Might look like 1848, but it's 1843.

Not too often when I find a coin almost 200 years old anymore!

Nice start to my year!

Thanks for peeking!

Ummmm ya know, I'm not seeing where I can clean up any further without starting to lose. I just don't know if I should try.

I'm open to cleaning suggestions. Should I? How? Etc. Etc.🤷‍♂️

Clean it with Andres pencils.
Slowly and carefully, then coat with ren wax.

I dunno, I have turned many fairly readable copper coins into nothing but copper plugs...using water on them.

 

[E-Trac-Ohio]

Myself, I never put water on old copper coins.
I just clean them nice and easy with "Andre" & "Composite Pencils.

Same. I never use water on coppers.
Gently wipe off loose dirt when out of ground.
Andre and wax after they dry. Generally, the drier the better.
