key date Indian head today 1872

[GatorBoy]

I always like finding these but finding one that's basically a minimum of $80 makes me very happy

The 1872 is a nice one to cross off the list. I found one early last year in pretty good condition. I was definitely psyched to find it. Congrats on finding yours.

What kind of shape is yours in?

Here it is. It's been in olive oil for months now. 1872 and 1902.

If you use mineral oil instead of olive oil it won't turn so black... Olive oil has alot of fatty acid that mineral oil doesn't.
I never let something stay that long in oil because of what it does to the patina.
If that's after months in oil I can only imagine how bad it was when the coin guy turned it down.
Thanks for sharing.
Here is mine now.
