Probably My Best Copper!

This is the New Brunswick one cent I dug on my last hunt. I could tell right away that it was in better than decent condition...but wasn't expecting this. No pitting at all and no wear. Look at the hair and the crown...nearly perfect. This one goes in "the box"!

Almost look's Silver.

It must have been in perfect condition's, to keep it in that pristine state.

Just hydrogen peroxide. I started with a few hours in cold HP followed by 30 minutes in hot HP followed by overnight in cold. Brushing and rubbing with a toothbrush and clean cloth between dips. Most important is to keep water out of the process completely. That's it!

Well it came out great. You can't really tell you scrubbed it either. Nice work.
