Bought this at the ANA show in Portland. Have been looking for one since the Steve sale at the Baltimore ANA. Yes, it was cherrypicked for $60imageimage Will reveal the answer tomorrow. Those of you I showed it to....keep quiet.image

    Wow...great guesses.....imageimage Now that I'm looking at it on my wifes computer, I wouldn't have a clue either.

    It's the 1890 off-center clash reverse. If you look closely, you can see denticles vertically running through the middle of "ONE CENT".

    Thanks for all the guesses. The prize of a 1933 double eagle will carry over to the next contest...image:image

    Great score. image I guess it was easy for you to spot in person. I can't see the die clash from the picture. Do very many folks collect the indian cents by variety, such as this?

    Boiler - yes, you needed to recuse yourself!image

    Tom: There are quite a number of IHC variety collectors, though I don't know of anyone trying to do them all. I concentrate on the "top" 20-40 or so. Some collect varieties by year, others by categories (for instance, the 3 cross-denomination clashes, the 3 off-center clash reverses, etc). The off-center clash reverse IHC's are known for 1880, 1889 and 1890. Keep looking - there may be other years out there. Here is a closeup of the 1890.
