Indian Head Penny 1885... guess where?

[SeekSilver]

Found this today in Orlando. What's ironic is I found this so very old Indian Head in a Park called Cherokee! Ha.

I thought for sure you were gonna say you found it in your change from a 7-11 in Scrappy's hometown...not sure you knew of that potential.

Cool find!

Congrats on the great find, and welcome to the forum. It looks like there is a lot of crud on your coin. Sometimes a great looking coin is hiding inside. Outside of a little rim damage, don't be surprised if your IH coin is in pretty nice shape. Consider letting it soak in mineral oil for a week and then toothpicking off the soft outer layer.

Gee...so profound...I'm shocked...

I'd really be more suprised if it was found in Pontiac Michigan...
