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.
I thought you meant a key date Indian :lol: Then I saw the key:duh: I love those things and don't find many. You got an oldie button there too, congrats Robbie!
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.great skeleton key Robbie and the Indian came out looking pretty darn good what was your set up to zapping it and how long ?? nice bunch of old buttons and relics you found there.
