Opinion on Indian

[daddyflea]

I hunted hard today in a Public Park. Down here it is rare to find Coins this old. This Indian was in Electrolysis for an Hour. It was unreadable before and I did not even know it was an Indian. Should I shock it some more or just leave it alone?

Looks good as it is. You can see the pitting start.

The first IH I found had the darkest forest green patina on it that you've ever seen,and it was PRISTINE wear-wise. Being a newbie idiot,I rolled up my sleeves with a toothbrush and Bon Ami to "clean" that sucker! Totally ruined it to the point I threw it away. It was the nicest IH I had ever found,condition-wise,1906. Yeah,I recall the date because I know I fuked it up.
I agree with the others,much more would likely be headed downhill,not up. Great grab,I don't get into the 1880s too much...just a handful of times so far.

I used Electrolysis Usually takes about 15 minutes but this one took an hour. Could not even tell what it was when I started.

Agreed! Leave it. Any more could cause serious pitting.

Yep, better stop where you are or you'll probably start loosing detail.
