Need more cleaning on these Indian head cents

[Geologyhound]

I have never heard of the N variety. Here is a photo of the reverse. The obverse is smashed right on the last number of the date so mine is a guess of the last digit.

I can’t make out enough detail to tell, but here is an explanation of the differences from usacoinbook.com.

I understand now. I don’t see a shallow N or triangle trumpet on the E.
Thanks for that printout from your book, it’s very interesting.

You’re welcome! It’s just a screenshot from a free website.

Always love to see Indians. Nice.
Ever try soaking in penetrating oil ?
I like to try and keep the green on.

Thank you. No I have never tried penetrating oil.

Thank you. No I have never tried penetrating oil.

I soak mine in a combination of krill, WD-40 and PB blaster in a Ziploc bag.
Actually my only large cent I keep in it.
Then gently clean with a soft toothbrush.
Never use salt and vinegar.
Destroyed a few coins trying that.
Stripped them to bare copper. Ugly

I carry little bags of silver,coppers and some gold to test and tune my detectors on every site I go to. I seem to do better that way.
