Congrats on the large cent. That corrosion would come off with a little warm peroxide. Looks to be a pretty solid coin under the crud.

It's a real milestone when you find your first 1800's coin here in the US - congrats !
You were lucky ... Indian Cents are most peoples first 1800's coin.
( Not saying there's anything thing wrong with Indians)
Good Hunting !

Very nice. My only tip is dig bigger holes. But zingos do happen still. It may be too late, but I find cold peroxide works best. It doesn’t green the coin like hot peroxide, but takes a day or two of soaking

Welcome to Tnet and congratulations on digging your first 1800's coin! Looks to be in pretty decent condition. There is lots of history in Vermont. Before you know it you will be pulling 1700's coins from the ground.
