strawberry_jam New Member United Kingdom 2 Posts	Posted 12/26/2011 3:38 pm Hi there, New to the forums but have just been given a bunch of old coins. The oldest was one from Queen Vic's reign, but there was one which didn't really fit in with the rest. I couldn't see much because it was very dirty but have cleaned it up and seen a date of1797, with a lot of different numbers, so I'm struggling to work out what it is, where it's from etc. I've copied a link to a picture I've taken of both sides. Any help appreciated, Thanks in advance! Report this Post to the Staff

pls Rest in Peace United States 1729 Posts	Posted 12/26/2011 6:11 pm Please do not clean any more coins - the value of this one has dropped considerably since you scrubbed it. Soaking in distilled water and gently patting it dry is all right to remove organic solvents, but scrubbing will damage the patina of the coin - what you call "dirt" - and collectors love patinated coins and turn away from scrubbed/cleaned coins.
