Fun new Indian Head Cent error!

COINS MAKE CENTSCOINS MAKE CENTS Posts: 1,897 ✭✭✭✭✭

Someone brought in a few rolls of Indian Head cents today. This cool error was in one of them! I've owned quite a few off center Indians but never a Civil War date. Pretty cool suprise.

    Incredible find! How much do you want for the other common Indians?

    Nice. That coin surely saw it’s time in circulation.

    I love the upset rim on the unstruck portion of the planchet.

    Or Charmy Harker. She has a great collection of Indian Cent errors.

    Is there a slight indent at the reverse rim at 3 o'clock?

    Just think of how many times that coin was actually spent without being pulled out of circulation by a collector.

    All glory is fleeting.
