I'm tempted to say "One of these is NOT an Indian Penny. Can you guess which one?"

Beyond that I'll leave it readers to comment.

I like 'em.

Drop that '97 in some olive oil and let it sit for a few months. Then take a rose thorn and carefully pick the corrosion out from between the feathers and letters. Give it a rinse with acetone, and let it air dry. (Some collectors give it a light coating of oil to preserve it. I have done some of my circulated copper that way, and it seems no have no ill effects.)That should get rid of the harmful stuff safely, and preserve that baby for future generations.
