moose59 Pillar of the Community United States 732 Posts	Posted 04/19/2021 6:47 pm I found this rough penny in a bag of foreign coins. It has the appearance of being a metal detector find. But what the heck, it is still an 1860 Indian head. If anyone knows a safe way to get some of the detritus off. I would be grateful. I had it soaking in water for two days, helped a little.
