Wow, Lonestar, that's a beauty. ?It sure looks orange-red compared to others I've seen. ?

How did you clean her? ?Is there some kind of mark by the date? ?Do you ever tumble LC's or IH's? ?I'm afraid they'll loose details.

As always....lotsa questions!

WOW!! Is it a cent or nickel or what.SWorry but I just dont know my old coins that well.The oldest I have is a1909 wheatie.So what made you take the walk thru the hood? Are they doing work or are you trying out a new method? Greatr looking coin. Have you cleaned it yet or is this the way it came out? HH

 

[lonewolfe]

Large cent, Floater?

I decided to check in front of this house because it's been sitting there empty since I moved into the one I bought. I asked the old woman who lives next door to it who it belongs to, and she said she knew the owners for like 50 yrs before he/she/they passed away, and that the son owns it now, but probably wouldn't care if I poked around as long as I didn't dig big holes!

I washed off the dirt/crud, and dipped the coin in coin cleaner for about 2 seconds, then imed. while holding it under running water, rubbed it gently until it cleaned to the point you see it now.

Copper is 'tricky' when cleaning because if you over dip it, it will burn the patina off, and turn it several different colors.?
