My First Indian Head Penny

Like they say, be sure to check around the old clothes lines. Found my first Indian Head penny and first in the 1800's. In somewhat rough shape but still exciting.

Congrats on your first IHC. That one will look great with the dirt removed. Love a nice green patina. My 1st came from a defunct mobile home park. Who'd a thunk

Congrats, nice coin.
Some guys seem to find lots of them but I would classify them as uncommon for most - In over 10 years I have only found a dozen or so.

Very rare finds for me too. I could probably count all of the ones I have found on one hand. Congrats on a great coin, first Indian and 1800's coin, and in incredible condition! I love green colored copper coins, unfortunately the coins I find are always all toasty instead.

Congrats on your first Indian Head Penny. I water mine off, and lightly go over them with a toothbrush to get the dirt off. Then soak it in a plastic cup with Virgin Olive Oil for a week, and watch that baby clean up real nice. This works well for any copper coins, like Large Cents, Two Cent pieces, and Wheats. Just make sure its not a rare date coin, before you clean it.
