Please crop and enlarge these images. Clearly this has been cleaned, did not come out of the ground looking like this. Quote:

I wonder what effect a sonic cleaner would have on coins. I bet a sonic cleaner would work well in this case. Given, the coin should be suspended or held with the reeding facing up so the dirt cannot settle on the faces and scratch the surfaces with vibration. Suffering from bust half fever.

Sorry @crispies, but repeat my comment. Cleaning is a shame.  |

Giving the coin a mud and rock bath is bound to scratch it up. It's amazing how little of a zincoln cent is left after one Chicago winter on a salted street. Just a grey disc with irregular edges and no recognizable features. Banks won't take them.

Looks like a cleaned counterfeit tbh. I don't think Barber dimes are supposed to have a Rim Fin like that, and that typical brown "toning" can be seen around the perimeter. |

Clear this up to everyone crying saying he cleaned it and the one special guy who thinks it's counterfeit. It was never buried, found in a runoff in the oldest park in Omaha, NE. It had rained 10 inches in 30 hours and only had surface mud. So what're you're seeing is almost exactly how it was found. I don't wanna hear anyone's opinion cause there is no opinion to be had. It was found almost exactly like you see. Go watch videos of silver coin enviro finds. There are tons of videos of coins absolutely buried in dirt and coming out almost identical. I don't think this coin was ever under earth, and rather lived most of its life in the runoff. Which again was mostly pea gravel, rocks and boulders. Thanks to everyone who congratulated the find. To those who have their own opinions, good thing it's not even your coin. At the end of the day it's still a dime that was found on the ground.
