1834 Large Cent and 1862 Indian

[misplacedrednek]

Hello again. A couple of finds from my weekend trip to Florida. I found these on family property along with a few other common home site items. The Florida sand was kind to the large cent but I feel like the indian could be cleaned. Any suggestions on as to how to clean it? Thanks for looking.

Andrés pencils clean IHCs pretty well.

That LC is a real find. The ones I’ve found aren’t as nice and smooth as that one. Well done sir.

Beautiful Large Cent! Not sure about what you should do with the IHC. It looks like it has some sand sticking to whatever it's encrusted in.

That is easily one of the best large cents I've ever seen on here! Major congrats! I agree with Carolina Tom. Andre's or let it soak in olive oil for a year.

Not familiar with Andre's. I will research that. Thanks for the advice.

Couple of beautiful saves. The LC is in great shape and I’m sure the Andre’s pencils will help with cleaning the IHP. Congrats

Here are the rest of the finds minus large iron and lead pieces. Almost no modern trash in this field.

Wow congrats! The LC is perfect. Looks like the Indian has a lot of detail under there too.
