Perplexing problem - To clean or not to clean.

[WHADIFIND]

Went out to a local school for a bit today. Got this wonderful, consistent 90 hit. They have been very few and far apart lately.

I was being very careful as I figured this had to be a good one. It wasn't deep at all In fact, as soon as I flipped the plug I saw it laying there.





Money + Clip = Moneyclip. Right?




The problem? Well, the clip is a relic. What it's holding are coins. I can't clean the relic without cleaning the coins.

I guess we'll just have to be satisfied without ever knowing what is inside.

Anyway, here's the rest:




1951-d



Even had my ride show up.



Complete with keys!

Thanks for peeking!

HH!

Open that f'ing thing!

 

[baylorhall]

The clip looks like an everyday folder clip, not a relic. I'd get those coins out and see what they are!

 

[WHADIFIND]

Open that f'ing thing!

WHAAAAAT!?!?! and take a chance on environmentally damaging the coins!?!? No sir! Not me!

 

[damiani1]

open that thing and tell us what those coins are

I could not sleep until I cracked that thing open ! What if you have some kind of key date coin ? Anyway, I don't think that clip is very old so... I think you have a Kennedy half and a clad quarter... You never know though could be a key date, and the reason why I could not sleep. Haha, cool find !!

Keep @ it and HH !!

But, one is never, ever, ever, ever, supposed to clean a coin!!!! I can't try to move the relic without hurting the patina on the coins! I guess we'll just never know.

Durn burn rules!!!

HH!

very interesting find. that's a first me, never seen anyone use a clip for coins. it's always cool to see these odd surprise finds

Looks like a clad Washington quarter and a Jefferson nickel. It is hard to say tho since the zoom won't work for me . Hey WhadIfind here is an idea maybe you should add a poll and have people guess the coins denominations and either clad or silver Then open up and clean and let us know !


P.S. Now zoom works for me on first picture, looks like a silver quarter hmm...

i'd leave it alone makes a better confiscation
piece

 

[lawrence_1md]

I'm curious to know about the lizard?!!

He should have been in the pic with the relic in the hole with the pinpointer.

Great finds !

That looks like a modern paper-clip used in offices everywhere, looks like clad too (I could be wrong)

Man thatd kill me to leave it like it is, I know you already opened it by this point so tell us what they are darnit! lol And i agree, w/ lawrence, you should bring your lizard w/you and put him in a pic of a fresh plug dig or something, thatd b pretty neat
