Took electrolysis to ID this coin. Can you tell what it is?

TrpnBils · Apr 28, 2017

I know what it is, and there's actually enough detail (barely) to ID it from these "before" photos. Can you identify it? The obverse is on the left.

I'll post "after electrolysis" pictures later.

Canadian cent?

given the low resolution and lack of zoomed-in-ness, it is kinda hard.

Yeah, the lower right on the right side pic looks like the wheat of a wheaty, but center isn't right. Kinda resembles leaves in center.

Yeah I had a hard time getting a photo big enough to zoom in on because of the size restrictions for jpegs.

The first step towards meeting those restrictions is cropping the image. Once that is done THEN resize if necessary. All of the data that is not the subject of the image is irrelevant in the case of the "what is this?" game.

Regardless: 1927 Buffalo Nickel!

I would have never guessed a nickel. I was thinking copper. That's one narly nickel.

TrpnBils · Apr 28, 2017

Yeah - I knew it was about the size of a nickel but I have never seen one this gross.

I was thinking a penny for sure too, was the buffalo found in water or dirt? Nice find!
