I was able to get a date off of it. Still going to clean it up more.

Great find! I found my first one recently but I'm not able to see the date. Any suggestions on how to clean it?

This is my 4th and oldest. Normally it’s not caked. I started on the reverse with a toothpick then was able to know where to look for the date. I used toothpicks and a lot of patience
 
Fantastic Find :)
 
It’s stuck on like concrete
Nice cleaning job. Have you applied a light coat of renaissance wax with a gentle rub?

It's all preference, but I think it brings out more details and makes old coppers look better.
