1796 Liberty Cap surface find....

[Scrappy]

Well, the description says it all. I found this at a cellar hole edge after clearing a $h!t ton of brambles. The coin looked like it was a loss, but reluctantly I decided to give it a zap, something I rarely do. The results were spectacular.

Here is the surface find...


First pic...


Best pre-electrolysis ...


And after a zapping ....



And a button I found as well...


Enjoy and best of hunts!

WTG on the Libery Cap! It came out great after being zapped. I've never done that before but I don't plan to.

Thanks. Can’t blame you for not wanting to

Came out nice!

Much appreciated Lu. I don’t think I’ve seen you ever clean a coin that way. Thoughts?

Oh NO!! Not the Electric Chair for Lady Liberty

Ha! At first I was considering putting her in an ultrasonic cleaner while performing electrolysis, in a microwave. ☠️

That is one of my favorite coins. I can believe it cleaned up that well. That gamble was well worth it. Your coin is my coin fantasy. Lol

Great save and surprisingly pleasing results with the zap. Some might say shockingly so (sorry...). Thanks for sharing!

Well done buddy. You’ve found a couple of nice coins early in the season. I just stare at my detectors when I walk by them lol. I’m actually selling my GPX because I never use it. May buy an Equinox at some point for the water. Depressing bud
