I dug this coin on a hunt Thursday, it is the same size as a penny, but it is NOT attracted to a magnet.
With the level of crud built up would it more likely be an IHP rather than a Lincoln penny ?
Has anyone ever had a Lincoln penny look this bad ? (maybe it's neither an IHP or Lincoln)
If I could get enough of the crud off even to see a few markings I could at least tell if it's an IHP or a Lincoln penny, any ideas how to clean it or what to soak it in ?
IF it turns out to be an IHP it would be my first one ever !
(and I'd be glad just to have finally dug one, bad condition or not )
