4 large cents (pics added)

DigDugNY · Oct 29, 2013

I got 4 large cents today while detecting. They are 1817, 1822, 1827, and 1831 I cleaned em up enough to see the dates, but am wondering if i should try to clean them up a little more. They have a lot of green on them. I don't want to ruin the details so Idk if i should leave them how they are

do not use olive oil....warm peroxide soak will do the trick...

Have you tried sauteing them? And by that I mean heating olive oil on the stove and putting your coins in the. Here's a tutorial. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S33ETTRfVpU
