This is the 1st identifiable copper I've ever found (1775). I was shocked at the condition when it came out of the plug and was only about 2 inches down. Came from an early 19th century property that has recently been torn down. I'm wondering if the coin had been under the floors and never really had to battle the elements? I just wouldn't think a coin of this age would hold up so well. I washed off some of the dirt, but I'd like to clean it up a little. Should i just put it in olive oil?
Also, can anyone tell me a little more about the coin? I'm assuming it's a King George, but I don't know anything about these coins. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
WHAT A FEELING PULLING A BEAUTIFUL COPPER OUT OF THE GROUND!!!!!!!!
