Recently reviewed - it stayed 64RD but PCGS neglected to add back the S-2 designation. Now also has the CAC sticker. Submitted again for them to correct as it’s the only RD S-2 known. I used to own this years ago & jumped at the chance to acquire it again.
Love the Indian Cent!
Very Americana, like the Buffalo Nickel!
Here's my recent acquisition from Chicago's ANA Show.

@joeykoins: thanks for posting! I’m not sure about the crackout - do you intend to flip it? First of all, I like the rev, even though the pic is small. I’m sure a lot of the noise on the obv are slab hits, but what about the scratch in front of the ear to the jawline? If that’s on the coin, I’m afraid it will come back as “details”. JMO….
Graded 66+RD. Pop 5/0. Spirited bidding for this one in the HA auction yesterday. Even though I don’t do much with RD IHC’s anymore, I decided to take a shot at this one. I was the underbidder; winner paid $24k. Congrats to him/her - great coin!

Another beautiful tough earlier Indian. Shallow N. Nice coin as usual Ken. Waiting for EE and CAC to follow?
I think the seller may have tried CAC; waiting to hear back from him. But Rick? Definitely yes; he’s seen it in hand & will give it the EEPS! Thanks for the nice comment too!
Ken
Update: 8/19: the seller did not try CAC; felt there was too much toning/color for them to bean it. I tend to agree with that assessment, but I’m happy with the EEPS for this one.
My good friend with a great IHC Set recently bought a 1909 MS67+RD that is now double-stickered for his collection. As such, he sold me his dupe, a 66+RD, which is an upgrade for me, AND within my budget.
Here it is:

A day without fine wine and working on your coin collection is like a day without sunshine!!!
Again, description outline of this unusual variety is included. CACG is doing a fabulous job with these. Does anyone know if they include the variety without the submitter requesting it?
(I’ll bet @winesteven knows)!
You’d lose your bet, lol. I don’t know. But if you call them up, chances are you’ll get an accurate answer if you describe your question clearly, with an example.

OK Steve - I have an answer. They don’t. But, they do have an arrangement with EERC for his submissions. He tells them ahead of time what variety the coin is & they include it on the label.
Ken
Thanks Ken! The Newman specimen has the metrics on the slab. Interestingly, the original envelope that came with the Newman Specimen indicates he thought this coin was pure Nickel. I am guessing an XRF determined otherwise. I work for a company that makes XRF guns, I need to inquire about seeing what kind of discount I can get!

I am now just down to 1860 to complete a Copper-Nickel Indian Cent proof collection from 1858-1866!
Here is the 1865 (Plain 5), recently acquired. 77%CU 33%NI, giving it more of a white look. Ex Newman.
The 1858, 1865 "Plain 5", 1865 "Fancy 5" and 1866 are patterns.
Grades are as follows:
1858: PR64
1859: PR64
1860:
1861: PR65
1862: PR65CAM
1863: PR64CAM
1864: PF64CAM
1865 Fancy 5: MS65 (non-proof graded, but appears proof like)
1865 Plain 5: PF65
1866: PR64
@redraider
You had me going there, Copper Nickel 1865,1866???............
Then I saw your note saying that they were patterns.........whoa, I thought O was losing it
Great set , keep it going
Here is a pickup from last nights Great Collections Auction. This is one of the 10 1859 with Shield "True Proofs" that Rick has in his census. It is very rare. I really wanted to buy the Blay example, PR64, but it was just too much for me to swing.
This one resides in an OGH and I when I get the coin, I might consider having it regraded. I really cannot see why this only went to PR62.
First of all, I love this thread; I found it buried on page 7. I have a new one today with a shoutout to @redraider - thanks for making it available! It’s perhaps the finest known of this unusual variety. On the obv, there’s a digit sticking out of the lower hair curl next to the ribbon end. On the rev, there’s a die gouge between the arrow quill & lower olive leaf. As a bonus, the coin is 80% RD.
This thread gets buried so quickly I’m “forced” to post & bring it back to page 1:
The 1882 S-2 broken 2 is one of my fave IHC varieties, as it’s one that’s naked eye visible. Visually appealing, it’s also a tough 3* variety as shown in the description included.

Comments
Nothing like the wonderful coins in here, but back when I put the set together, it was a labor of love on a very tight budget.
1877 & 1903 - My two fave coins from the Dansco. The 1877 unfortunately came back as AG details with environmental damage.
The Dansco
Cheers.

I need an 1857 FEC and 1858 LL to complete the whole run of Copper Nickel proofs. Might be a ways off from getting those.

Last one & my fave of the 4. Cool variety & happens to be the highest grade of the 4; nice look!
Concluding correction: in the first post, I said “FS” instead of cherrypickers. A couple of these do note FS ID’s. Accuracy prevails, just late.
