<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bk48198, post: 592749, member: 18750&quot;]It says Washington &amp; Independence on the front side &amp; Unity States of America on the back, The bottom of the date is worn down so I just assumed it was 1783, at first I thought it said 1799 but after taking it from the coin holder it looks like the last number is a 3. Washington is facing left and his hair looks braided. I looked on ebay and saw a similar coin that was dated 1783 and the 1799 is completely different. How would I clean the coin or should I just leave it alone?</p><p><br /></p><p>It looks like this coin I found on ebay : </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1783-Washington-Independence-Unity-States-1-cent-coin_W0QQitemZ320372727287QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCoins_US_Individual?hash=item4a97b3ddf7&amp;_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&amp;_trkparms=72%3A1205|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318|301%3A1|293%3A1|294%3A50" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1783-Washington-Independence-Unity-States-1-cent-coin_W0QQitemZ320372727287QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCoins_US_Individual?hash=item4a97b3ddf7&amp;_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&amp;_trkparms=72%3A1205|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318|301%3A1|293%3A1|294%3A50" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/1783-Washington-Independence-Unity-States-1-cent-coin_W0QQitemZ320372727287QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCoins_US_Individual?hash=item4a97b3ddf7&amp;_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&amp;_trkparms=72:1205|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318|301:1|293:1|294:50</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
