Question
i have a question on a coin i have, its a coin that on one side it is stamped 1800 R.P. and on the other side you can see a profile of some sorts. the coin is very dark incolor a the moment but with a cleaner it can be cleaned. can you tell me what it is??
Hi Terri,
First off, do not clean the coin, you will destroy any value it may have.
Unfortunately, your description could be that of any number of 100's of coins. Can you tell me the country of origin, what it is made of, the denomination? Anything would be helpful.
