I think you can clean the dirt off with a toothpick, just don't use any time of liquid including water... I'm sure Donsj can be more help with this.... congrads for the awesome find... 6-12G'S for a penny that is a unbelieveable day!!!

Very nice! With my luck, I would have ended up putting a gouge in it with my digging tool, and then I would have spit on it and rubbed off the dirt to see what the heck it was that I found.

Good job keeping it "as dug" and leaving it up to the pros to clean and preserve properly.

A chain cent? Well, there's something else I learned here! Never heard of one before. Thanks for the pic, Nick.

Congratulations to you, jfx55, on your most awsome and rare find!!! I don't know what I'd do if I ever saw something as old & rare as that in my hand on a hunt! Nice work!!!

Hey JFX ... you hit the Chain Cent lottery twice ! YES...You found a chain cent AND it doesnt have a hole drilled in it !

Had I found it it would have 6 holes drilled in it PLUS initials carved in it

Congrats again

Congrats on your amazing banner find. That is the equivelent of a bowler's perfect game or a golfer's hole in one. It is the Great White Shark of metal detecting!

Please keep us all updated on the coin.

D. Dude, if I had found it, it would be cut in half...and bent at a right angle...and with 1793 holes punched through it.

D. Dude, you are bound to find one in your neck of the Colonial hunting country. Heck, you got a mint state 1797 Flowing Hair half dime! I still can't stop to that find!

Soooo, are you going to send it away?

The detail below that caked dirt is not going to chip away. You should take a toothpick and chip the dirt off of the opposite side of the exposed chain.
