[68kaiser]

Hello haven't posted in a while.. Not much to brag about till today. Found a 1898 ihp. I have wanted one of these for a while now. Its in good shape all but the crud that won't come off. It has good detail must have been drooped when new.

It looks like hell in that pic. Like that camera adds 10 pounds I guess

Very cool and nice looking details! Some warm hydrogen peroxide might help out......Of course we also use some heavy duty chemicals to clean our stuff though, so I would wait for someone else to chime in.

The very first IHP I found was the exact same year. Back then I had no idea what I found being new to this hobby back in 2009. We soaked it in olive oil for a few days and then gently rubbed with cotton and it came out real nice at the end.

Congratulations on your nice find!

I will do the olive oil when I get home. I almost didn't dig it. Its disc out just above tab but the sound was to good coming from the vaquero to pass up.

That's a really nice IHP.
Lots of detail hiding under that crud.
A wooden toothpick won't scratch the coin and is helpful in removing dirt
Congrats

Congrats on your first Indian Head Penny. It's always nice finding a coin for the first time. Yours looks to be in good condition. The last one I found was toasted.
