I dug this highly corroded "coin" today in an old home site by a fresh water lake. When held in the right I can see a matron head. It appears the right size to be a large cent but it is heavily corroded and it rang up in the 50's on my DFX. I expected a higher VDI from a large cent. Any thoughts? Thanks for looking!

Definitely LC take small glass with olive oil and drop it in . Leave it for a couple of weeks lightly brush and repeat.. That is only way to clean without damage.
