1773 Virginia Halfpenny

[KenPa]

I met with TnT2000 and MarkGPa for a short hunt after work this afternoon. I found my First Virginia Halfpenny 1773. The scanned pics don't show much detail but it looks a little better than the picture. The date is not readable but according to the redbook it looks like they were only made in 1773. I also got a 1925 wheatie and a flat button. Any suggestions on cleaning the Halfpenny would be appreciated. I don't think it is of much value but I would like to make it a little more readable.
Thanks for looking
Ken
