<p>[QUOTE=&quot;naturephotoz, post: 1192110, member: 31325&quot;]Hello everyone,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I am brand new to this forum and was hoping someone could help me out with an ID or point me to someone who can. First off I am a biology teacher and although I collected a few coins years ago I have not since then. I know next to nothing about coins so any help would be greatly appreciated. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I was out testing my metal detector for the very first time near my home in S Central Pa and came across this coin and I have only been able to identify it as a 1787 connecticut colonial coin right facing bust possibly mailed muttonhead. The coin is in really rough shape but for a copper coin in the ground for 224 years it is just showing its age. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I do not know if this coin has any historical significance (unique, rarity) and I am afraid to clean it so any suggestions would also be greatly appreciated. I was told I could soak it in olive oil and use a soft tooth brush?? </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I will post a few pictures below...
