well actually this is the same dollar i found a few months ago. fellow member, riccar, was able to clean it up for me. some of you may remember that it was extremely ugly before now. i also did not know the true date until now.

    Cleaned up pretty good.Considering what he had to work with.Im not sure if I like
    the after better than the before.I liked that old green patina clingen on to that morgan.

    It gave it some charm image

    If you use more of that E-Z-est coin cleaner, I bet the 1902 might turn out pretty
    good. Just needs a little more "elbow grease"...

    For anyone that's interested in this stuff, here's a web site that sells it for under $5:

    that indian head has actually been cleaned. most of the coins from that site came out horribly dirty and/or corroded. only 2 coins came out looking nice, they were a barber half and quarter.
