its just a reg. penny but sure did get me excited a little, that 44 "steel wheat" would be nice to own.,is in rough shape been in the ground long time.....what is the best solution for cleaning pennies,,,, i,m using vinegar and a touch of baking soda,,seems to really work well after about 8 hrs,, just seems to wash away the grim without scrubbing.

no doubt a 'dug' one would be little more than flakes of rust
