I think this is a half penny dated we think 1936. My husband kindly thought he could clean it up, so put in on grinder and then wire brush!!!!!!!

Seems like the wrong way to clean coins, I was always told not to clean them if you were wanting to sell them, also just copy and pasting the images in will not work, I would suggest you remove the top part of your post since it also reveals your first and last name.
