Congratulations on the Indian Head Penny.
Any idea what that ring was for?

We have an old homestead from the late 1800's on our land where that was found. Just another piece of iron that I have no clue what it is. We pull all the old iron out and pile it up at the house. A lot of horse shoes , tack, chains etc, and junk I don't have a clue what it is.

Thanks Chizzy, I don't want to do much cleaning for fear of ruining such a old and fragile coin. Our soil is not kind to IHP's.
