have you played with lighting and a jewlers loupe?also look closely at them when they are wettened.bottom line is you may only be able to get exact measurements and weight and go from there.good luck and happy hunting...

wow wish i could luck up on a site like that i found 24 merc today and 90 cents in clad

I'm guessing it's a large cent, maybe someone else can pin it down.

Capped Bust Large cent. 1808-14. Head is visible in 2nd pic. At least that's what it looks like. I call it....like most I find....a colonial slug.

I agree that #2 is a large cent. Hard to tell much other than that... Need better pics. Always take your coin pics straight down (no angle) in sunlight on a dark background. That will help show maximum detail.

Can I revive it? Is there a way to clean it up? Or is it too far gone?

They both look pretty clean. Not sure what additional cleaning would do to help. I suggest getting high quality, hi res photos and use photo editing software to search for detail. I've had luck using negative image and changing the brightness and contrast to see otherwise hidden detail.

Good luck.

I've got about 50 others that look just like it. It's luck of the draw how they come out. Try again. Maybe the next one will come out like the Ct. on the banner. Ya never know. Good Luck. Hogge
