Found my oldest coin yet!

[jt70]

Hi all

Got out this evening for an hour or so in the backyard. Dug this 1827 large cent about 15 feet from the house.
I am all cranked up now! She was about 7" down and rang out loud and clear.

Thanks for looking

JT

wow awsome find and it is in really good shapr to! you can try scrubbing with backing powder or soda after soaking for a few weeks. i cleaned some pennies that way and it worked well. has anyone ever tried the elector plate thing you put in boiling hot water and add baking soda then it turns tarnshied silver to gleeming bright silver in like two seconds? I wonder how that would work on coins?

Beautiful lady!! Way to go! Keep up the good work!

Happy Hunting,

I prefer Blue Ribbon ( NO ... not Pabst !! ), but WD-40 does wonders also & is much easier to find.

BTW ..... GREAT Find !!

JT, that's awesome.

Ask comfy (Lance) how he cleans his large cents. They always look nice. I think he uses a brass brush.
