Semi Key Wheat at a Mansion.

[Hunter101]

Was given the opportunity to search a mansion property dating earlier than 1900. Spent about two hours there and found this semi key wheat from 1911. Has an S.




The following are some pics old and recent of the house.

Cool 11s, cool old home. It sure looked better with the porch back in the day!

It's a beautiful house!

Nice find. AU details grade at least.
That's a great candidate for a soak in hydrogen peroxide.

Nice early Lincoln find.

And good example of remuddling an old house and losing its original character.

What all do you do for soaking?

Nice old penny find. Congrats. The house looked nice just the way it was. I’d hang around a little longer and see what else pops out of the ground.

Finding old S wheats is always fun. It's one of our consolation prizes for living on the West Coast and not getting to find Large Cents all the time.

That house is cool think of all the coins in there in the floor vents under the carpet the treasure in the removable brick in the fireplace. Well done

It is already a "details" grade coin since it was pulled out of the ground. Resist the temptation to scrub it after soaking. You definitely don't want to put scratches on it.

Personally I start off with about a 30 minute soak in regular hydrogen peroxide. Then keep changing it out as the coin gets better. After soaking and patting dry there is product called "Verdi-care" that was specifically formulated for copper coins. A drop or two of Verdi-care is all it takes. (I've heard it is hard to find lately, even on Ebay.)
