It's a large cent, not a half cent. Nice find. Hogge
 

Yep..don't clean it if you aren't sure..you may destroy it,trust me:icon_thumright:
 

Personally I would not clean it at all, the date is already gone. It is a Matron head made from 1816-1839 if thats bothering you. They are hard to find, I made the mistake of cleaning one and made it worse than it was. Sometimes its what you don't do that makes the difference. I found two of these digging for bottles on my travels, coal ash is much nicer to copper. Great find keep up the good work and good luck on your next!
 

i knew that ....lol i dont know why in the world i put half cent. i have not found a half cent yet so i guess i had it on my mind .

Musta been really worn when lost. You can't do anymore damage to that, than the soil has already done. Don't worry about it. I got a whole jar full just like it,(and worse). Hogge
