Man..thats old..1690. Im inclined to believe soaking in olive oil may release some of the crud, but Ill officially hold off and let the antique coin collectors pipe in.
Any idea how much that 1690 is worth..and lets say if it was graded VG?

 

The Penny looks to be in Good(G) condition and I don't know what to say about the crown, considering I have never seen one before. Nice coins regardless! Soaking in olive oil would help, but you could try a acetone bath for about 5 min. and rinse with distilled water. Just remember, do what you think is best, not just because I told you.

 

here hopeing

vg is worth apox 175 pounds but worth more to me because my brother gave it

 

?

does that meen i cant blame you
Lol thank you

 

After looking at other examples, of the crown, I think VG to Fine sounds pretty good. That crown sure has some history behind it. I learned something new today. Thanks for sharing!

just going to bed let the debate keep going

 

I don't blame ya. I think its actually past your bedtime as late as it is.

 

The Gunmoney series is very interesting. Have you looked at yours very closely to see if there is anything under it, since these were used to raise money, sorta like bonds, and when they were turned in they reused them by re-coining them and lots of them have undertypes to them, like the one below.
