cladhunter13 Pillar of the Community Canada 1161 Posts	Posted 09/05/2010 4:08 pm Pulled a 1892 Indian Head cent out of a box of Canadian cents today. Very nice condition. Pretty much a full Liberty. Full shield on reverse...can even recognize the arrows. Is there any variety to look for with the 1892? Here is the 1892 IHC: Any ideas on possible grade? Thank you for looking.

cladhunter13 Pillar of the Community Canada 1161 Posts	Posted 09/06/2010 12:41 am When I pulled the coin from the roll it was full of gunk and crusty bits. I soaked it in peroxide for about 10 min and used a softened toothpick to gently remove the crusty bits. I haven't bought the wife any flowers lately to scavenge a few thorns from. The softened toothpick works well. I imagine the coin would have a story to tell...now it ends with finding a home in my 2 x 2 and a comfy spot in my collection. All good things will come to a end. :) Report this Post to the Staff
cladhunter13 Pillar of the Community Canada 1161 Posts	Posted 09/06/2010 01:23 am Thanks for your grade opinion DV. I was thinking Vf as well. It may have been cleaned prior to making its way to me. As stated I did do some minor clean-up of the coin. Nothing corrosive or extreme. Just a short peroxide soak and the crusty bit removal. My best looking IHC to date. Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 09/12/2010 6:39 pm I said VF because I see separation between the headband and hair and feather details. Course, it's a detail grade, etc. Cool find for a box of cents. Report this Post to the Staff
