Check out this molten lump o' Indians...
Meltdown
Posts: 8,526 ✭✭✭✭✭
I picked this up years ago at a local shop, It had come in with a huge collection of stuff.
The shop owner just gave it to me...
Hard to say for sure, but I think maybe it was done on purpose based on the bottom molten look, maybe set in a hot crucible?
I suppose it could have been in a house fire? I forgot about it for about a decade and just found it cleaning up in the garage.

Well @Meltdown that is a meltdown of coins!
HAPPY COLLECTING
Well, your name is appropriate
BHNC #203
Would make an interesting paperweight. I wonder what it would look like after going through a good sonic bath?
That's not a bad idea... it's pretty crusty.

I would remove the dust, dirt and crud, dip it to make it bright, then use it as a paperweight/curio on my desk. Cheers, RickO
It would be fun to send it in to PCGS for their conservation service. Can you imagine the look on their face when they first unwrap it?
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.
Did you look for varieties or key dates ?

That is actually a rare 'error"!
Beats the heck out of a parking lot find! ;-)
Seriously though... my grandfather kept Indian Head Cents in a coffee can during the Depression. Anytime he'd get one in change at the soda fountain he worked... into the can it would go. If there was ever a fire, I'd imagine this is what they might look like... thanks for sharing...
