Nice Indian head

[101numlock]

Found a pretty nice indian head at around 8 inches with my Vaquero. I am really surprised i don't find more of these. I have only rinsed it with water should i do anything else to possibly clean this coin more?

That is a nice indian head, 101

A stiff nylon 'fingernail' brush works with warm soapy water. Just don't scrub too hard, and leave the nice green patina intact.

If it was a key date indian........i'd leave it up to a pro to clean, now go find some more!

Nice find, looks to be in nice condition. From my understanding, dug coins don't have the appeal to collectors that non-dug coins do. That said, if your coin graded G-4 shows $1.25, and PF-63 at $140, and price doesn't hit $25 until MS-60, that is what my '08 Blue Book says anyway.

Hope you find many more, I love finding IH's!

ill have to give the brush and soap a try but that is one of the better ones i have found. Still hoping for a large cent though

Nice indian and in great shape for being in the ground, I have found very few of those where I live. They are usually very deep 8+ inches and fairly corroded.
