Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3067 Posts	Posted 12/06/2023 3:28 pm I didn't find much during yesterday's hunt on another wooded hillside along the Milwaukee River in Milwaukee, WI, but I did come across this 1899 Indian Head cent. It cleaned up very nicely. I didn't want to do too much cleaning to it, so I left some dirt on, in order to protect the lovely green patina. I'm fortunate that the soil around here preserves coins so well. Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff
