Indian Head penny after a weeks cleaning

[TheGeorgiaCanuck]

Sorry if this post isn't in the right channel. This forum doesn't have a coin cleaning topic.

Anyway, here's the results on my IH penny after one week soaking in linseed oil and 3hr baths every day in warm water and dish washing liquid.

And the backs.

Alot of the black grunge is gone now. The large cent is cleaning too, but it's gonna take longer. Will post pics of it next weekend to see if there is a change.

Here is the full sized pic links below.

try soaking in vinegar. be careful only a few minutes, then rub and rinse dry. works great on pennies, not so well on silver-clad
