Found this one in a roll and had to clean it, haven't really checked it out close up yet but it looked interesting.

In hindsight, I wish I took photos with the coin scope, but the before shot close up sure would be gross!

Two soaks of about 15 minutes, and a rinse, it was pretty hard stuff. Left a slight darkened rainbow effect. Reverse was unchanged.

Not a bad find at all, MNP. And it cleaned up pretty well.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Thanks Hondo, it's nice to get some good ones for a change

My Wheat cent collection was rather dull until recently!

Nice job. Did you check it for an RPM? I'm getting ready to post a 55-D that is barley an RPM and can only be seen under higher mag.
