Found 1897 Indian & 1906 Liberty Nickel Last Night

[E-Trac-Ohio]

I went to an old 1800's church last night and hunted on the lawn - near the parking area. Found a 1897 Indian Cent, a 1906 Liberty V Nickel and a few clad coins.
The Indian looks terrible in the photo but it's in really nice condition - probably the best one I found this year. The Liberty Nickel is also in the best condtion of the of the five I found this year.
So all in all - a great little two hour hunt !

The back of the V nickel looks pretty sharp.

Very nice V Nickel! Why is it that they just don't seem to hold up in the ground very well? Can anyone answer that? It seems like they are always deteriorated when I find them.
Thanks,

VERY NICE COINS! DO YOU PLAN ON REMOVING THE VERDIGRIS FROM THE INDIAN HEAD? THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT WORK GREAT.

I'm not sure if I'm going to clean this Indian Cent or not - I did clean all of my other Indians.

If I do I'll use Electrolysis - seems to work the best on old copper coins.
Salt & Vinegar work really well on Nickels.

How do you clean your coins Don ?
