I still say no matter the experience of the person cleaning that coin, it should be done by a pro b/c if something goes wrong at least you have recourse. If you DIY it and give it even a hint of a problem, it will be worthless.
im having a pro look at it for cleaning. will post cleaned coin soon when i get it back. thanks

I have no doubt that it will come back looking like a champion. You are one hell of a great hunter, jfx55! :thumbsup:

May your next two sweeps be two more of those Chain cents. :notworthy:

So if you've seen the back side, which variety is it? We want to know if you just made some good scratch or if you hit the jackpot.

1793 chain cent preview.

the chain cent cleaning has gone well. now complete. still some corrision here and there. but much better that it was when it came out of the soil. next step is sealing it up and perhaps air-tight holder.( note this is the ameri type).
