First day out with my AT Gold (shout out to HighPlainsHunter for being a fantastic seller) netted me my first non clad coin, a US Large Cent!
As you can see from the pictures it's in abysmal condition. Enough that I can't even be able to decipher a date. Called around to local coin shops and they told me it wasn't worth my money to get it cleaned. I'd still like to remove some of the corrosion just to see if I could bring out any detail, purely for sentimental reasons. I've had it soaking in peroxide for about 12 hours, which only brought a little more detail out. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks and happy hunting.
