One of two 1865's I found yesterday. I tried a new cleaning method but I was a little skeptical about harming the green patina. Since I had a pair I went for it with one of them. Needless to say I am extremely pleased.

It's still green as can be! It just looks darker in the pic :thumbsup:

**I added another pic which shows the emerald green much better

You are right. The Indian head cent is a beautiful coin and I could dig them all day everyday and never get tired of seeing them in the plug.

Your cleaning method worked beautifully. Congratulations and keep swingin.
