Awesome find Jim! What did it look like before the cleaning? Did it have zinc rot or dark spots?
Errers and Varietys.

Actually David I just used a soft bristle toothbrush and warm water because it looked like it had some type of sticky substance in both sides. I used warm water to help remove the sticky gunk on it. Cold water won't work. You can still see a little of it on the R in LIBERTY and the first T in STATES on the reverse. And, Thank you my friend!

Nice find and congrats. The thickness on the U of TRUST is nice.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

Thanks Pete. I think the thing I like the most is the bottom right leg on the R.

Make sure coins are totally dry before putting them in a 2X2. If not, the next time you look, the coin will turn green.Turn the coin over and let any moisture dry off before it away.

Darned good eye and a nice find !
If I could just add one point to what Coop said about the water.
It may seem like overkill but try to use only distilled water . Any other water, even reverse osmosis, will contain dissolved minerals or chemicals or whatever, that as the water dries, will be deposited on the surface of your coin. Any of that stuff may not hurt but it's doubtful it will help your coin.

Thank you,Stoneman! It's kind of a obscure DDO. You are right with using distilled water. |
