Its got to be the minerals in the ground or possibly the acidity. I've only found one LC, 1828, and it came out looking beautiful at least after rinsing in just water. Almost every wheat cent and pretty much all indians I find are plagued with harsh crust. How some older copper avoid that is beyond me. A short read on this site explains that some of the Liberty Cap Large Cents were struck on pre-existing tokens and since some took a boat ride to get here were exposed to sea water which quickly coroded them. I would feel safe in saying yours may have been on one of these boats, and even possibly had a previous life as a token! lol

You're not going to get anything else out of that beautiful coin. Electrolysis does the best. It's still a mighty cool find! Congrats, Nancy
