It's pretty toasted, but my first nonetheless. Also found a 1936 wheat, 1985 Indian 50p, a Spalding #5 golf club driver plate, a brass lipstick tube, and about $3 in clad.

Electrolysis does more harm than good unless it's a saltwater encrusted silver coin.

Lol you're probably right, I think I took all the nickel off mine - looks more like a copper 5c than a nickel now... I still don't care bc the corrosion is gone and like you said, it's not a key date, so it's not like it matters.

What's he doing at the 3:30 mark? Is he tumbling them with wet pebbles and that polish stuff? That's not a bad idea, his tumbler is small probably reasonably priced. I'll have to look into that for next time. Thanks for the vid, Buckles!
 

Congrats on the buffalo
