Oldest Coin Yet

[swingin4clad]

So I got a chance to hit the lot i have been pulling alot of coins from today. It turned out to be another average day for this spot i dug 34 coins including my oldest coin to date. I think its a 1918 Wheat penny i figured i would post it to see what yall think. The back of the coin is very dirty and hard to make out, is there anything i can do to try to clean it up some more??

WTG on your oldest coin.



Usually I drop my coppers in a hot peroxide bath, however with that one it may just exasperate the corrosion.

Definitely 1918! Great job on your oldest coin.
