Indians and the Digger Coil

[benzoflex]

Old farm house I had been to before produced
Some clad but persistence paid off.
My xterra 705 with the digger coil showed
12-18 TID as well as the tone. Thought it was a nickle but
Turned out to be a 1874 penny!

Nice lookin Injun! Congrats!!

I have a question about this Injun..
Should i clean it or just keep it the way it is.
Don't think im going to sell it. I've never cleaned one before.
Any thoughts?
Thanks...

That is a very nice Indian, congrats.........Maybe soak it in olive oil for a while. If the green patina comes off you will most likely end up with a very pitted coin and probably loose a lot of detail........

That's a pretty coin & I would leave it just the way you found it. I like the green patina.

WTG, that IH is in super good condition, full liberty and all 4 diamonds and a nice smooth patina.

Since that IH has no real value, you could clean it but I'm sure after you do you'll wish you didn't... been their,,, done that.

Like C&R said, you will loose a lot of detail if you clean it.

 

[benzoflex]

Yeah, i'm just going to leave it the way it is.
Thanks for the input. Much appreciated.
