Ugliest nickel ever and coolest ring !

Hello,

The At pro continues to impress me !! I went back to the pounded site again... (Only place I've been all year.) I found some more hidden finds that the other machines missed. I found a really ugly screwed up nickel and a very cool old child's ring. I know there are some tutorials on restoring/cleaning nickels but I can't find the good ones. If anyone has a link to these please post them here, I'd like to try and restore what I can of this old nickel. Simply just to find out what it is.... The little kids ring is very old. With what looks like a frosted glass stone I'm guessing Victorian or late 1800's.. What do you think? I don't think its sterling, but one of the cooler rings I've found. Here are some pictures, the dime is for size only. On the last pic, I put a full nickel under the broken one for size too. I hope you all enjoy !!

Keep @ it and HH !!

Okay, I'm kinda tired but I'm seeing a map of Africa and parts of Europe & Asia on your nickel in the first nickel picture!

LOVE THE RING! I hope the child had many days of admiring her groovy ring before losing it. HAVE FUN! Andi

I agree with you on 2 things. The nickel is ugly, & the ring is a beauty !

Thanks everyone, I have no idea what the Nickel is... That's why I'm asking anyone to help me find a good restoration tutorial. I think someone like buckelboy started a thread on it but I can't find it...

Put it in some ketchup in a plastic baggie for several days and change the ketchup out when it turns brown.

Looks like a Charles II Farthing circa 1675 (circa 22mm)

Lol, is that some kind of joke !!?? When I first dug it I thought I noticed details of a coin like that but the detail was lost by the time it dried out.... I swear its a nickel, same size and same ridge, you can see it in the last picture its on top of another nickel.....

Nickels don't break like that. If it's a Charles II it could be "gun money" which does break like that. My Charles II Crown (or 1/2 Crown) has a broken edge like that. Of course since you location is "undisclosed" it's not possible to tell whether there's much of a chance of finding a Charles II coin where you are.

Yea, you can find coins like that around here... Harder to find pre 1700's varieties though...

no it just looked the right size & the same colour as the ones I often find. You have it in your hands, so you know best, just a quick scan suggestion.

Hmmm, I thought you were joking. Thank you for your professional incite, I will definitely keep your suggestion in mind. Even in my hands I can't tell what it is... Its like looking at clouds, like one dude said.. I see the world.... Do you know how I could restore it and maybe get some detail out of it?? To find out for sure what it is ?
Thanks so much !!

The detail is total worn off. The only way to be sure now is an expensive X-ray which will show up a surprising amount of hidden detail (ie. the impression of a head etc..)
