Another IH @ a key

I hunted the farm for 3hrs today and found a few goodies. The IH was pretty crusted on the face and I had to zap it for awhile to get it to come off. Turned out to be a 1865.

Thanks Dan, I use electrolysis , a 10amp battery charger with 1tsp salt,2 cups water,graphite rod (as positive) for about 45min, cleaning the solution once. Afterwards, rinse well and let dry.( this will really dry out your coin so you need to put some kind of oil back in it. I use olive oil for a few days to darken it up. It seems to work pretty well.(use in a well vented area). Thanks again, that farm is starting to show some age.
 
That key brought back some memories. I remember my grandparents house had a similar key in every bedroom door upstairs.

Nice finds!
