Mr. Barber And A Tribe Of Indians

[E-Trac-Ohio]

Hunted a 1800's cellar hole that was way back in the woods on a farm a few days ago.
The land owner told me that the house was torn down in the 1950's or 1960's.
Busy with work - will have to clean the finds at a later date - sorry for the low grade photo's.
Great weather and a great hunt !

Barber Dime - 1901
Mercury Dime - 1935-S
Indian Cents - 1866 - 1893 - 1897 - 1897 - 1900
Civil War Store Card / Token - 1863 - C.M. May - Merchant & Taylor - Steubenville, Ohio
This piece has been "Holed" but all the details are very clear - the nicest C.W. Token I've ever found.
The 3rd. & 4th. photo's are the only photo's I could find of the same Store Card - a non dug version.
Only difference is mine is dated 1863 and the non dug is dated 1865.

Good Hunting !

That's a nice collection of mostly 1800's Indians. Love the token. It's in amazing shape!

 

[iAmMike]

Spectacular, well done! That token is something else.

 

[JeffInMass]

Quite a haul- Congrats!! The token looks it fell out of someone's pocket yesterday- great find!

 

[AU Seeker]

Awesome finds!!

Can you post a good photo of the 1866 Indian, it's a key date coin and could be worth a few bucks, at least enough to buy some gas and a few beers!!

Great finds. Especially the 1866 a tougher year.

Sorry, my good camera is down - can't take any good closeup photo's right now.
I got lucky - the 1866 Indian is in the best condition of all the Indians found on this hunt.
Yes, I know the 1866 Indian is a key date but it has very little value to collectors because of the heavy green patina.
Besides, I don't sell any of my finds - even if they are valuable.

There's a macro lenses that clips on your cell phone over its camera. Works pretty good. I'm traveling but I'll get u the name. Got it for Christmas.

What is your method for cleaning? Can't wait to see it.

 

[RatherBeDigging]

Macro lense that clips over your cell phone camera. Been pretty handy.

It depends on the condition and composition of the coin or relic to be cleaned.
I use Olive Oil, Peroxide, Baking Soda, Extra Fine Steel Wool, Andre's Pencils, Electrolysis, etc.
