I used an apple cider vinegar soak (24-hours) and a soft toothbrush with a little baking soda to clean mine up and it worked great. Nice Finds!

Thanks for the comments. It's in hot peroxide now. Couldn't tell if '64 or '66? 1864 is coming through crystal clear. Nice moment. My mother was out following me around the yard.

Great coin. Those 2 cent pieces are always welcome in the plug.

Congratulations on a great find. Only minted for ten years, makes it rarer than some more valuable coins.

Very nice coin. Congrats

The vinegar doesn't have an adverse effect on copper?
