<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KeyHunter, post: 8046581, member: 122558&quot;]I&#039;ve found a few similar Large Cents with my metal detector and found that, &quot;cleansing&quot; (different than cleaning) with anything other than distilled water ALWAYS resulted in an ugly, grainy surface that obliterated details previously visible only because a uniform coating of corrosion and &quot;whatever you want to call it&quot;. Treat it gently; accept it for the condition and history wants vs YOUR personal contemporary or emotional desires. NOTHING looks worse or decreases value like an obnoxiously cleaned coin...especially copper.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
