RockyRock Valued Member United Kingdom 129 Posts	Posted 06/13/2020 09:12 am Dear Friends, Got this nice 1869 Indian head but it needs to be conserved... Please let me know the possible ways to conserve a copper coin without damaging it as this is a high value coin wanted to take a safe approach. Also, I can see full crisp liberty and hoping it will make XF details at least. Please pass on your comments on grading and help with safe conservation methods on a copper coin. Appreciate all your inputs! And apologies for crappy pictures provided by the seller as I still do not have the coin in hand. Report this Post to the Staff

Let us know if it a variety as well when you have a chance to look at it in hand. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 06/13/2020 12:44 pm The O in one sure looks weird . There's a small possible chance that they already tried to clean this coin of Verdigris and corrosion . Sharper photos were needed to determine this . Hope the seller offers returns .
