Nice finds! Toothpick gently to remove the crud and leave well enough alone! Water will destroy a copper coin.

Nice finds! I really like Indian pennies. Just a classic coin.

I've used a toothpick to get as much as you can off and then very lightly 0000 very find steel wool. I do use Andre pencils also. Works for me.

I always do cold peroxide on my Indian heads. Sometimes I leave them in for weeks. It’s much less abrasive than warm peroxide and slowly removes the crud. It will darken them though

Congratualtions on the IH cents!

No water; dry brush with toothpick and toothbrush...old coppers found in the ground seldom look good (at least where I hunt).

Good Luck with your coins.
