Found 1888/7 IH Penny; 1879 Sil. Dollar; 1908-O Barber Dime; Plus more Silver!!

[Dman]

Two friends and I went metal detecting around an old mansion. We found an 1888/7 Indian Head penny, 1879-S Silver Dollar, 1908-O Barber dime, three Mercury dimes (1942, 1943, and 1944), a 1948 Roosevelt dime, six Wheat pennies, a C. H. Powel token, and other relics. We hunted for about three hours and plan to return to the site as soon as possible. What is the best way to clean a penny?

Is that the error 1888/7 or either 1888 or 1887? Hopefully you found the error coin and congrats on the silver dollar, very sweet. Hope to see what you find on your next outing!!

If it's a rare overdate DO NOT clean it. If it's just a normal sorta one I use electrolysis, works a treat. Could we see some closeups?

Sweet finds. That's the kinda place we are all looking for.

That IH - you can "clean" it. Just make sure you know what your doing. If any doubt leave it the way it is. Congratulations on a once in a lifetime find.
