4 Indian head cents......whatcha think? .....

HalfDimeDude

Im going to post 3 Indian head cents ,another series that Ive played with over the years....then sold some only to buy em back again. I do find it to be a series that has a way to capture many interest with all it has to offer.

This one for fun......

This one is for my favorite year in US history....

Cool coins!

Indian Cents were my first love when I was in high school. I finally completed the set with coins in VG to Mint State. I sold that set in the early 1970s.

I have dabbled with them since, most recently completing the early dates from 1859 to 1865. I also have the 1908-S and the 1909-S. I have thought about going forward, but have not mostly because I am trying to ween myself from U.S. coins.

Those are great !
I like the 1880 'leech on neck' variety......

HalfDimeDude

Thanks .....the 1884 is a new discovery for me....as most think oh pmd.....nope rusted die.....
The 1st 76 is another i need to have attributed as it has a dot on the reverse o.ne ,as we know did use dots to catch a thief.
I enjoy pickin the 1867 a better snow variety.... no reference book near by or I quote chapter and verse.
I too had the 1877 in xf and both 08 & 09 s coins....sold the 77 and 09s kept the 08s ......but again filling holes isnt my thing variety the spice of life.

Ya know I do sometimes want to kick myself ,selling some coins that now wish were still part of the hoard.....but ya see that's the problem....hoard....50 + years of stuff in general..... I have no family or children to leave it to....so sometimes Im like sell....other remorse from having done so.
The one good thing about selling off some stuff......lol.... is it makes room for more with the fresh cash flow.

Nice Indian cents. Love the 67. Is that "7" repunched? The top looks like it is?

Nicely done carvings! I just hope they didn't destroy an 1865 DDR-001 when they carved that one.

Look closely at the 1 as well under the date obv. 4 rev. D variety 4

Obverse 4 is identified by repunching to the south on the 18 and repunching to the north on the 7, with date placement at C.  Obverse 4 is observed with a rim break between 11:00 and 12:00.
Reverse A develops a cud between 1:00 and 2:30

The other day I found an 1865 P due to date placement H~10 love token....thats 1 of what 1800 pcs? Only thing worse would of been an 1846!

IHC's were really my first 'collection' coin... I thought they were so very cool - still do. But as a kid - who played cowboys and indians - it was really special. I may still have one from way back then, have not seen it in a while though... a very worn specimen. Cheers, RickO

How about a few more to look at.....?!

Thank you for the heads up.....and appreciate your comps!
Are you talking the carved 65? Yeah that and the 76 centennial one are two favorites.
Now to confess the 76 I paid $5 for purchased from a dealer friend who when he quoted me the fin....I couldn't get the money out fast enough....the 65 I dis pay more not over $25 if my memory serves me. Both are items that I would never part with.... as they speak to me that much.
