Great find at least the reverse looks good & with a little work the front may get to be presentable .....Good luck

all I did was use soap and water. Thought cleaning them was bad? What would make it clearer?

I never use water on IHs, only a toothpick to get the crud off. Water can ruin coppers sometimes. I've found plenty that looked toasted but it is just caked dirt & crud...

Try soaking it in a olive oil for a day or so.It seems to work out great for mine.

Congrats! My luck is bad I found a 1754 KG a 1917 Half Dollar. Not a single IH or 1800s any coin! One of these days I will get an Indian I hope or any 1800s coin to fill that century gap between my oldest finds HH !
