My ist IHP had a crust that was about 3/16" thick I could not get a date. Iknew it wasn't a zincoln and had ti be an indian head. Since it was my 1st and already toast, I experimented with electrolysis. Left it in a little too long, no harm, no foul.

Congrats on the first one of '18! Man that thing is roached. Toxic dump find? Nice patina tho
I've found a couple of IHP's like that too, in a park that used lots of fertilizer. No way to read the date, so, with my luck, they're 1877's or 1869/68's!

Love it. Our coins wouldn't be half the fun, if they came out candy-apple clean, eh ? Call it "green patina" !
Looks like someone patina all over the IHP!
