Draped bust half cent

[andrewt]

Found this half cent today ... based off of the rear design it looks like it should be a draped bust but the front is so far gone I can't not see a year

Anyone have any info on how I could bring it back to life without cleaning it?

Great find. I soaked a cruddy half dime in dish soap and water for 2 weeks and it cleaned up 80 percent. It was a different metal type , I think.
