But its hard for me to identify a brass coin... Report this Post to the Staff

oddguy Pillar of the Community United States 4135 Posts	Posted 04/13/2023 8:12 pm Looks like it was cleaned with an sos pad. Any type of harsh cleaning is a bad thing to do, collectors hate it. Report this Post to the Staff
