Found this today at a new site with Roz and Bri. Awesome detail. Reeded edge. Pretty cool looking. Is still pretty caked up with dirt. Have washed it off with soap and toothbrush. Can someone give a suggestion on how to get the top layer of dirt off. It will then show INCREDIBLE DETAIL! Didn't want to put it in peroxide if there is another way. Seems to be made of either pewter or lead based metal. Will peroxide hurt the detail? This is my third counterfeit coin this year. Have a CFT. Large Cent, an 1824 Bust Half, and now this one. Update: Used "Lever 2000" hand soap and a toothbrush. Didn't quite get it all, but worked pretty good.
