Newbie find

Post by Watters » Thu Feb 25, 2021 6:36 am

I found a 1914 halfpenny in the backyard while digging. It’s got some corrosion and dirt but seems ok otherwise. What should I do about cleaning it up?

hello. always better not to clean your coins.
some people just use a small brush and soap to remove a bit of dirt. if you try this, avoid to scratch the surface of your coins.
