Nice IH, the few I've found have been corroded from a little to a lot.

Love the IHP, it looks like you used hot peroxide to clean it, am I correct?

I did, but it was not bad on the face side to start with

I only used hot peroxide if the coin is dark brown to begin with and have only used it while cleaning 2 crusty LCs. Most of my IHPs have a nice green patina. I soak them in hot soapy water and use a soft bristled toothbrush (and wooden toothpicks when necessary).
