We were off to a slow start, finding only modern clad, then as we were just about to call it quits, I get a solid 39 hit on my Safari and at first I thought it was the top of an old milk jug, then I saw lady liberty!! Wohooo!! Any suggestions as how to get the green crud off??

Sweet Find! I'll leave the cleaning to the experts...........

 

[LuckyThirteen08]

Nice Job, There are a thousand different recommendations to clean coins, I`ll leave the recommending up to someone else cuz id hate to help you ruin a sweet find like this one! Thanks for sharing!!

Yeah, I learned the hard way when I cooked the detail right off of a 2 cent piece. I'll never use another chemical on a coin again! I thought maybe there is some safe way to remove the green.

 

[LuckyThirteen08]

If this were MY COIN,Here is what I would do. I would put it in MY freezer,And then Drop it in some of MY boiling peroxide!!! But thats just what i would do if it were me. Worse thing that coud happen to MY COIN,My Coin would look the same as it does now.It would be worth me giving this a shot on MY COIN though.

Awesome find Welcome to the Silver Dollar Club

I've been hunting for 20 years, and never found one. Awesome...

I use malbu 2000 well water antioxident shampoo mixed well with water, soak the coin, removes tarnish nicely.

 

[gsxraddict]

I've never tried this, but many people soak them for 24 hours in acetone. Coin collectors do this, so I know it wouldn't damage the coin.

Thats a great find!!!! They elude me.

If it were mine.... Id tumble it in walnut shell, then in corncob.

nice find congrats HH

What is the green stuff anyway, just regular tarnish?

 

[Gridwalker306]

Sweet find! It looks like the detail is really sharp underneath the green gunk.

 

[gforce1972]

I'd use baking soda. Make a paste in your fingers with BS and water and run the coin between them. Works great on silver.

Sweet find! It looks like the detail is really sharp underneath the green gunk.

I agree! It appears to show execellent detail under the green tarnish. I would take it and have a qualified professional clean it.

P.S. Awesome Find! If I am correct the date is 1922?

 

[lisfisher]

Yes, a 1922
