It's wild how they come out of the ground different colors. All the ones I find in Indiana are green . Great find

I suspect this coin has been cleaned prior to the post going up. Very nice condition though.

Yes, it was very gently cleaned. First, I ran it under running hot water to remove the dirt, then dabbed it dry. Then I placed it in hot H2O2 for several minutes. After rinsing in water again, it looks like this. The H2O2 step darkens the copper a bit. I was just fortunate that the soil conditions were just right so as not to erode the copper (e.g., farmer's field fertilizer).
