Hello all! Went out to an old home place built in 1881 today(2 houses there prior to that) Got my first Flying eagle cent! Looks to be 1857. I thought it was an Indian head until I got it home & lightly cleaned. From what I've been reading its hard to clean/restore these. Any ideas would be great. I also got 21&42 wheaties, a 34 merc, a coin that's toast, 2 late 19thc shotgun shells & an ornate brass or copper something. Also found (not pictured) something with the owners great grandmothers name on it, which I was happy to return. My buddy that came with me found a 54 Washington quarter and a 1917 buffalo. Thanks for looking & HH!
