YA GOTTA SEE THIS LARGE CENT*CLEANED UP NICELY

[HEAVYMETALNUT]

the 1842 braided hair i dug a few days ago I knew had some detail under the baked on black crud & today i was lookin at it under the loop and started scrubbin it with hot water and dish soap.I saw the liberty come through nicely with no pitting on surface (which is unusual) & decided to hot perxoxide it.the black wouldn't flake off like most coins do,so i worked it with the toothbrush and kept ploppin it in the peroxide & scrubbing.
I was very pleased at the way it came out.i never had much luck diggin a good braided hair but this one is gorgeous.thanks for lookin

Ok Dave, here's what I want you to do. First find the girl in the pic. Once you do, get her to connect your 1842 large cent to your coil wire, and then put your chain cent between both cups of your headphone. I think this might work!

It may be just a large cent, but the quality of it should make it a banner find. You just don't see them with that kinda detail. Amazing! Glad you got lucky on that clean up as well.

Dang HMN, that this is beautiful. Its like you bought it uncirculated dirtied it up and cleaned it. Thats how sweet it is. Good like finding one like that again!

I'm not a believer in putting water on coppers, but you may have made a believer out of me after seeing how that beauty cleaned up. Very nice job (and coin)!!

 

[steelheadwill]

Is it just me, or does the date always seem off center on these little beauties? NICE COIN

Now that is a great example of 'Judicious cleaning'
She's a beauty.
I think just the '42 & 43's have the slanted bust
