Great finds Ray.
Have you ever tried the peroxide method on those Indians?
Take some Peroxide and nuke it in the Microwave just until it starts spewing and stop the M.wave. Take the Indian and drop it in the peroxide. It will start fizzing. When the fizzing stops, take the coin out and use a peroxide dampened Q-Tip and rub it lightly. I have done this to a number of mine Indians and they came out great. May have to reheat the peroxide a time or 2 and repeat the process, but it has really worked good for me.

I'm not a coin expert but I have soaked Indians in olive oil for up to a month and didn't do crap! The same goes for the ketchup on the nickel trick.

Love the token! (and the 1866 IH isn't too shabby by any means either)
I'd suggest experimenting with Memorial cents or common Wheats before jumping on the Indians with any type of cleaning. Peroxide has worked better for me than olive oil, but about a year ago I switched to Magic Eraser instead of peroxide, since peroxide will darken the coins. Silver I only just rinse.
(and the coin collectors always warn against any type of cleaning - a warning well heeded for coins of value).
