Good Score on the new Brunswick Large Cent!!! I'm Still Looking for one of those,
the button is a general service button, if memory serves it was used all the way up to the mid 1900's, I found one just like it last year. good score on the silver also

Hi Pal, I thought it was a lg. 1 cent when I dug it, did not think much of it till I cleaned it. It's in bad shape, but after researching a bit they only minted them 2 years 1861 & 1864 as far as I could find. #7 silver finally. Just secured another private residence early 1850's can't wait to try. Cheers

It looks like it could clean up nicely. Put some hydrogen peroxide in a small glass container and microwave it for 20-30secs. The drop the coin in it. And leave it in till. Your satisfied, it won't harm it and the crud will fly right off

Hey, So I already washed it in warm soapy water with a very soft brush, Most of the crud came off.It still has a bit of deeper green corrosion, Your method should remove that? The 1912 cent has a real nice even patina I think I will leave it as is. I'm keeping both so it doesn't matter either way. How do you get so many photo's up at the same time? You mentioned it before but I can't seem to find that info. Thanks Ward

to upload a bunch of pictures at the same time I use photo bucket, it won't damage the coin it will just take off the green hard crud not patina, the green hard crusty stuff is called verdigris.
