My oldest dug coin in 15 years of hunting. Scratched it out of a old grass event parking lot. Trashy to boot. Poor V is worn thin but date still visible. 1895. I don't target old coins but sometimes stumble into them. Who knows how long its been waiting there?
So if I give it a cleaning, might destroy the date. It's certainly not collectable, but I hate keeping it in a drawer. Think I'm going to turn him back loose. Lay him with another clean nickel on a sidewalk, watch who picks him up. Continuing on his 122 year journey.
