Just an indian

Think I'll leave this dude just as it is. Normally the more I clean my coins the worse they look.

Congrats on digging the Indian. All that one needs is to soak in some hot soapy water for about 15 minutes and then take a very soft tooth brush and gently clean it. After it dries I look through a magnifying lens and clean the nooks and crannies using toothpicks.

I am happy when I FIND AN Indian head penny ,and I would just give a little soak and then pat it dry.

Nice old Injun'.
I would probably use a little soap and warm water and maybe an olive or mineral oil soak for a few weeks.
You surely won't hurt it and may even bring out a little more detail.
