First coin find!

[mattwebb677]

Hi all!

Found this coin today, which I think is a King George II half penny. Anyone have any ideas on how to get this a little cleaner?

1st - Nice find mattwebb677. Thanks for sharing...

2nd - Ya might jump over to CLEANING & PRESERVATION for some suggestions.

Thank you very much!

Any updates on the coin ?

I think I am going to let it ride for now. While I dont care about effecting resell value because I'm not selling it, I dont want to lose any of the detail thats left, which isnt alot. I feel like even slight damage might make the coin unrecognizable.

I've actually thought about that! I might get a little shadow box or something.

Canton, eh? You arent that far away from me, I'm sure you've found some good stuff too!

Thanks Joe! I was actually able to get a slight amount more detail out of this with Andres Pencils, but not enough to really be noticeable on camera.
