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...

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
 

Oh NO!! Not the Electric Chair for Lady Liberty:sadsmiley:

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

Great coin & cleaning, turned out nice, nice button too, congrats on the saves
 

Wow. What a difference. Great job.
 

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
 

That’s a beauty Steve shock treatment on lady liberty
Great results , great seeing you today another 1000
Feet we started finding items.
Next time we are zeroed in on the site
 

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
