DOCC Pillar of the Community United States 1502 Posts	Posted 07/28/2024 09:24 am Just had to share the transformation of a recent dig. I was certain it was a goner but nope. 1890 IHC. I swing a metal detector and have a knack for finding dirty old coins.

DOCC Pillar of the Community United States 1502 Posts	Posted 07/28/2024 2:12 pm Alkali and VC - probably give it another VC round to see if I can lift any more of the uglies off the obverse.
