<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CheetahCats, post: 1192821, member: 23874&quot;]The reverse 7 is the giveaway.&nbsp; The &quot;7&quot; in 87 is very unique.&nbsp; The reverse is a Miller C. To date the Miller C has only been found to be paired with the Miller 1.2.&nbsp; Diagnostically it does indeed appear to be a Miller 1.2. </p><p><br /></p><p>By all appearances I would say you guys hit the nail on the head; it is a Miller 1.2-C / &quot;Mutton Head.&quot;&nbsp; Nice job.</p><p><br /></p><p>As per Whitman, it is listed as a W-2720, with rarity at URS-10 (250-499 estimated known to exist.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Given it&#039;s a ground find, but yet it still has details, it&#039;s somewhere around &quot;G-6 Details.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>There isn&#039;t much you can do about cleaning it; perhaps soaking in olive or pharmaceutical-grade mineral oil for a few months. I recommend no brushes, no soap, no abrasives, no toothpicks, no rose thorns; only multiple rinses with distilled water after soaking, then pat dried with lintless cloth/paper.&nbsp; Aside from that, IMO there isn&#039;t much more conservation that can be done.</p><p><br /></p><p>I wouldn&#039;t get worked up about feeling the need to clean it.&nbsp; The specimen &quot;as is&quot; is a beauty in of itself.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
