    I hit an old home site today and found another 1867 Indian head penny but this one is in even better condition than yesterdays. What are the odds of finding two 1867s one day after the other? I knew this one was gonna look nice. Look at the letters in the word Liberty before I cleaned it. Clear as day. Still needs a bit more cleaning. Can't get em much better outta the ground than this. Especially a semi key date one. Fun stuff.

    I use hydrogen peroxide that is heated up in the micorwave in a little glass bowl. I place the coin in and let it fizz all the dirt away. Jim
