This was identified by my local club as a key date coin. I was pretty excited to hear my little penny is worth a little bit. You never know and I'm sure thankful to the clubs I am in. You all have identified countless pieces for me. Any help in cleaning this up??

I soak my Wheaties in hydrogen peroxide. It can take hours, but usually gets them pretty clean.

That doesn't sound very tasty though..... :laughing7:
 

Fun find.
I use hydrogen peroxide as well. It works wonders on that tan dusty encrustation. Careful though as I've had some copper coins get pitted from leaving it in too long.

Also, an ultrasonic cleaner is supposed to work well without damaging the coin.

When buyers say "It's been cleaned" be weary." It is their business to get your money. DO NOT mention you metal detected it. You will be automatically made to be a scrubbing coin cleaner. Hope this makes sense.

I like peroxide. How long did you leave it in peroxide to get pitting?
