✅ SOLVED Old Copper Coin

[nate7394]

Just about had a heart attack when this came out. Seeing the chain, I thought it was a 1793 Large cent but this coin is definitely not that.

Because of the poor condition, is it worth trying to clean? I'm hesitant because it looks like the detail could flake off easily. I cleaned the 1826 LC by dunking it in boiling peroxide. However, the 1826 was in good shape straight out of the ground. Any help is appreciated.

Looks like a fugio cent should read--- "we are one"---- in the middle of the coin
