cato5225 New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 06/09/2021 7:59 pm Recently I inherited a bunch of coins and other miscellaneous things from my grandfather. After searching through the coins I have a few that are interesting.. this 1904 indian head looks to be in great shape other than this green color.... is this something that can be cleaned? Should I just leave it alone? Would it be worth the time and $ to get it graded? Thanks in advance! Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/09/2021 8:13 pm Sorry, this is a corroded coin with almost no value anymore. I doubt a dealer would offer more than 5 cents, if even that. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
cato5225 New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 06/09/2021 8:26 pm Thank you, honestly I wasn't going to sell it, I plan on getting a case for it, just bc it was my grandfather's. I figured if it was worth getting graded I'd go ahead and do that but still let it pass down thru my family. Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 06/10/2021 08:12 am Might be a good coin to practice cleaning on. Never clean most coins but this one sure could use a bit of cleaning. First try some soap and water. Report this Post to the Staff
