What is this? I think it says 1809. I know nothing about this type of coin. Paid $5 at a flea market just now   |

Cant be 1808 or 1809.
It is a Large Cent and Draped Busts stopped in 1807.
Give me clearer pics and I will give you the attribution.

That stuff is BAD for copper. Dangerous for silver but......What is wrong with it the way it is?

What about a soak in acetone? It looks like it has layers of filth on it. Maybe I could see date better. Is def 08/09 maybe 😊

It is definitely an 1802. Nice buy for $5. Worth at least triple that.

I'm a copper collector. Don't soak it, leave it alone. It's definitely an 1802 LARGE CENT! Price, good question. I'd say $30 - $60. Any attempt to try to make this coin look better will only end up making it look worse.

Please, just place it in your album and enjoy it as is. It does not look like it has been messed with and you realy should let it be. Enjoy it in all its beauty and charm.

If I had an album I would lol. I only bought it because he asked for $5. So, not even an acetone bath would help?
