Awesome job!!! Try using a toothpick on the caked dirt, leave it dry and rub the loose dirt off. Should clean up pretty good. Post up some cleaned up pics when you get a chance. Congrats again!!

Congrats on the first… Best way to clean it would put it in hot peroxide. I just use a small glass, put in some peroxide and heat in the microwave for about 45 seconds. Drop in the coin and it will start bubbling away the crude.

Cool. And by the looks of the pic background - I mean cool
I found one 1844 a month ago so wore out, yours looks better. i ended up after the tooth pick cleaning, using naval jelly for 15 seconds.It basically stripped it to the bare copper, it looked better with the patina! Nice find bra..

Congrats on the large cent. I agree with the "olive oil treatment". Just drop it in a plastic cup for a few weeks & it will clean up real well.
