I don't hunt alot of spots that are conducive to American coins like this, but I'll take them every time! This may have been dropped by a hunter, probably soon after the mint date from the looks of it. It sure was a nice suprise. :icon_sunny: Now I'm going to try and clean it without scratching it...


I decided to just blot it with a camel hair brush under running water. The front doesn't look as good as the reverse, but not too bad.

Yeah, it looks great the way it is, don't do any further cleaning if you want to preserve the value. Nice, nice coin!
