Dug this 1863 cwt this AM. It says peace forever with two little hands shaking and George Washington on the other side. How can clean it up a bit better? Hot peroxide works really well on all my Indians? ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1499092460.891348.webpImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1499092472.404765.webp

very nice token, congrats
 
Nice token. Most were privately struck and so planchet quality varied greatly. I would clean it carefully and start off with a cold peroxide soak for a day. Congrats
 
Very nice still looking for my first. Peroxide works good on Indians because they are bronze there is no telling what that is made of. I would proceed with caution.

Very cool! I'd love to find one. Good luck what ever you decide to do.

I have a variety right here on my desk. Not recovered but, just handed down. Very cool recovery and one most folks will never find I reckon. Well done.
