My first large cent... toasted!

Auriemma · Sep 20, 2014

I was at a hunt run by Upper Bucks HARC, with a number of MDers from SE PA. Found lots of stuff, re enactor buttons, blanks, scrap, clad... But the one that got my attention was this a large coin that was really toasted. Not sure what it is. Some thought a King George, but no real definitive answer.

Any ideas from the other experts here?

Thanks again George... Great hunt! Nice meeting the rest of you guys, and lady.

I should also add... Found with my ATP (83) at about 6-7 inches. It measures 1.125 dia x .077 thick, give or take .005"

WTG on your first LC, definitely a milestone!

Thanks!... I soaked in mineral oil for a few hours and hit it lightly with a soft tooth brush. Kinda sorry I did, it turned black. Would soaking longer help?
