What can I put on it to bring out some of the details

Hi; Let it soak in Lemon juice for a while. Then use a wooden tooth pick and GENTLY "PUSH" the dirt off ok. You'll be amazed at the results. Nice Find. PEACE:RONB

Don't let it soak too long. Looks real to me.

That's a 1912 'Ten Cash' Chinese coin...here's a good link:

I work about 3 blocks from a railroad ( Frisco ) and on the other side of the tracks ( about 4 blocks )was the Gasconade Hotel built in 1889 ( burned 10 years later ). So I thought that there should have been some kind of movement around there. The house's in that block by work were built around the 1930-40 and as far as I know they have never been detected before so I'm working on permission for the whole block. Had my first "NO " yesterday at the end of the block. This coin was pulled out of the back yard .

 

[Trapper340]

That's what I thought also after doing more research. Had me questioning it because I'm messing most the ten cash
