Just wondering what kind of condition you folks are finding the IH's in.
I have found several but they are almost unrecognizable(looks like many of the new zinc ones). Does anyone find even halfway decent looking IH's?
The ones I have found take lots of soaking and scrubbing to recognize them and even then, they have big raised corroded spots on them.
I assume this is the verdigris working for over 100 years. What do you use to clean your IH's.
Thanks

Most were in pretty bad shape. "AG" grade at best. But a small few were very nice with full "LIBERTY". They're out there!

The 1907 one I found a couple weeks back was in fantastic shape. But I have only found 1 since starting this.

I have only found 1 so far. No "LIBERTY" can be made out.

I've found two. This one was in the same box as a 1909 VDB.
Also found an 1880 in G-4 condition.

I see you found an Indian from the rare Racoonus Americanus Tribe
