Large Penny

[Cat J]

Found a Large US Penny Coin in my half roll Friday but I can not read the date. It is so crusty on the front. Any ideals on cleaning it.

Thanks
Cat

looks like a Matron Head style 1816-1836. Ive dug a few of those. but never found one in a half roll. Great find. A good way of cleaning it is pouring some Hydrogen Peroxidoe in a glass and put it in the Microwave on like 40 sec. then just drop the coin in, it helps bring out the features and helps take the crust off. However Caution. the coin will become darker. Its kinda of a toss up. I have tried many diff. methods and foun d this is one of the better ones.

Thanks I will try that. I remember reading that on here before but forgot about it.

I wish I could read the date.

Fantastic find Cat!! It's the first large cent I've heard of found in CRH. That's the good news...the great news is despite the fact that the date isn't readable, you can tell from the reverse lettering it's 1829-1837. Isn't that a dot between ONE and CENT? That would seal it.

I tried a rubbing but no date. Just to crusty.

No Cat.....same as last week. They again recieved the small dollars instead. The vault teller said she would call them again this week to make sure she recieved LARGE dollars. Maybe the 3rd time is the charm huh.....lol.

They may not have any. Ike's are just to much work anyway. I still need to do something with mine.
