First Indian Head Penny

[TORPEDOX]

AA Battery told me I needed to post this coin I found in my yard.
It's his fault I caught this addiction.
this is one of many coins his Garrett missed in my yard.
my wife,,(AA"S sister in law) say everybody here should feel free to give him as much crap about it as you can


it was about a foot from my foundation down approx. 10"
it was in amazing shape, but I cleaned it before I took this picture, by dipping it in CLR for about 10 seconds, then rinsing it real good with cold water.
Actually I want to thank AA Battery for all his advice and help with getting me started on the right foot with this great hobby,,Thanks Frank

Great-looking Indian! Look in the camera manual's index for Macro. It's usu. a mode you can get with 1 quick button-push. Use a bright light on the coin from a slight angle and shoot with Flash Suppressed (usu. another 1-button setting).

Nice Indian Head coin!
For close ups use the Macro Setting on your camera.
Your close up pictures will turn out clearer.

Way better than my first Indian I found a week or so ago. I turned my into....Hows the best way to discribe this a....Well I'll just say what it is. A lumpy, bumpy hunk of copper. It was really bad at start then I used CLR for x2 one min dips. woops!

Keep @ it and HH!!

AA is pretty awesome and he is right about posting that find. It is great finding that first IH. As a bonus your IH is in super shape. So far I have found about 7 and I have only been able to keep one of them. The others were far too corroded.

Super find and congrats on passing that milestone find.
