Found this yesterday in vt. It was in a field that had been plowed last year. Looks like a face but in very bad shape. What can I do to clean it? Anything?
Its hard to see any details in the pic but I'd bet its not a token, but a large copper. They'd wear coins as jewelry.... I never heard of wearing a token, but I'm no expert. I found many large cents/ state coppers that have been holed. Can you see anything on it? Funny, a few months ago I found a holed Vermont copper. Good luck.
So in the what is it forum recon digger came up with this...
Pretty cool. Except for the dang hole! I guess people used to wear them as jewelry. Now I need to figure out if it can be cleaned up any better.......
Thanks again :-)
Haha I thought I saw the matron head in the original pic but I wasn't sure. It probably is as clean as it will get. Nice find, I like the holed ones.....someone took the time to work on that coin and maybe gave it as a gift.
