Finland penni

[tanacat]

Found this in my mom's front yard yesterday and did this number :confused: until I could Google it :) Suomen Tasavalta is the republic of Finland. I like how they spell penni with an I.

It's such a 'cute' little coin lol Me and my vivid imagination was hoping it was from a civilization that no longer exists, very rare & worth thousands rofl

Obverse: SUOMEN TASAVALTA 1966
Reverse: 1 PENNI

Cool find Tana! It never ceases to amaze me how we find things that are clearly out of place.

I found this coin from Iceland in a little neighborhood park in Santa Cruz, California. It's aluminum and just a bit smaller than a dime.

When I found it I brought it into the house and handed it to Jen. She looked it up for me. And yes it's from Finland too. :yes:
I went back out side and found the 1909 wheatie about a foot away from were I dug the Penni. <:

Oh I didn't realize it was 1909- can you get it cleaned up anymore? Olive oil? Have you ever tried electrolysis? I haven't... had the need to -yet lol

Actually I have a 1909 IH that will not clean up! It's got this hard black sticky gunk that reminds me of soot from a locomotive. It's been soaking in olive oil a few weeks now.

different but neat find Tana.

[pulltabsteve]

Neat find Tana :clapping: I found this small penny last year. Really made me work to pinpoint it.

[jkress]

Wow... that is a tiny coin. It's always fun digging up something new.
Congrats.

Thats about as clean as that ones going to get. I have tried electrolysis. But the rig that I made needs a bigger power supply. :rolleyes: On your IH if it's in too bad of shape, here's how I get that stuff off of them. And I know Dave HMN also does this on some of his finds as well. I use a brass brush under running water or in a bucket. The brass is softer than the copper and bronze so it won't scratch it but it's harder than black gunk. :yes: thumbsup01 lol Again don't do it on any coin that might be of value of course 8/ But if you know it's shot already, give it a try. You'll be surprised at what it'll take off :yes: I know it's taken more than I would've liked in a few occasions :rolleyes: But when I get to that point it's usually to the &quot:daydream:h well stage anyway lol But I never did that to this wheatie though. :dontknow:
