If only all large cents cleaned up this beautiful. Also old foreign silver

This was a 40 minute hunt and needless to say I've got onto some stellar permissions. The large cents were a pocket spill and a few feet away was an 1859 indian head. The 1921 quarter is in stupid good condition but I've ran into a problem many of you probably have. I let the dirt dry on it during the hunt and when I got home the final layer of dirt would wash off. Any tricks to get this last stubborn dirt off without scratching or cleaning aggresively. If without the dirt this coin supposedly is worth 300 bucks in EF condition and this baby was dropped early in circulation

Nice set of finds. Give the quarter a soak in lemon juice and it will come out great.

Very nice finds. What is the buckle made of? Interesting shape.

Wow nice stuff! And you should be careful with that quarter, it could be valuable. You should check...

With this being possibly valuable I don't think lemon juice is a good idea. I've got some tarnished roses for that lol. I'm debating whether I should let it soak in soapy water and then lightly toothbrush it. Don't want to put scratches on it

Congrats on the LCs those are in sweet condition and those are 2 years I haven't found yet. Nice Silver, whatever you do with it just be careful, usually a soap and water toothbrush cleaning is all I ever need to do to clean Silver. Depends on the amount/type of tarnishing. Just be careful. be sure and show us the "cleaned" version!
