[artzstuff1]

Did not have much time to really swing it hard ,but will return .

My brother dug a real nice 1898 I.H. and I got a real old brooch with a nice blue stone,(glass).

The 1908-s I.H. came from a church site a couple of weeks ago, its been in the treatment tank.


Thanks for looking

The brooch is a good size. Funny how someone could loose something as large as that. I guess the lawn mower goat didn't trim the grass close enough! Nice find.

Congrats on the key date 1908-s Indian head. I do not recally seeing one posted before. As Plehbah would say, that coin will fit very nicely in your Whitman folder.

Think I read on a post last week that one of the "treatments" that one of the THers used was, if they got a copper coin with stuff on the face front or back of it, they would put some pepsident toothpaste on it and let it set for a day or so. Seems that when the Pepsident dries and contracts, it takes with it the residue. Might want to try it on a few not-so-rare coins before you try it on the 1908S. That is a good find.

That is a terrific date. Indian head cents were produced from 1859-1909. The three lowest mintages were:
1909-s------309,000
1877--------852,000
1908-s-----******1,115,000*******

To give a comparison, the three highest mintages were:
1907-----108,137,143
1906-----96,020,530
1902-----87,374,704
