Got to dig up my in-law's back yard over Thanksgiving.
Two questions:
1. Any ideas how to clean up the 1904 Liberty Head nickel without totally ruining it?
2. Does anyone know anything about the 50¢ rebate token? The business name on the coin is Engel & Brunswick and I dug it up from a house that was built in the late 1700s north of Philadelphia. I've done some research and I think it was from a company owned by Jacob M. Engel and his father-in-law Raphael Brunswick. But I have no idea what this company did, when these tokens were made, what they're for, etc.
Any help appreciated! This was a fun dig!
