Indian Head Cents

MrBuddy

I've started collecting Indian Head Cents. This is a set that was given to me. I really don't know what I'm doing, but would like to learn more about them. I've got several extras that I would like to trade for the ones I don't have. What's a good way to do this? Any help would be very much appreciated. I live in Dallas, Texas and would like to go to some shows if anyone knows of any in my area coming up. Thanks so much for your help.

Welcome to the boards!

I also collect indian cents. First, I would go to http://www.indiancent.com and check out his site. He is very knowledgable on indian cents.

What dates do you have extra? Do you have pictures? Are they slabbed? By whom?

Welcome. I collect 'em also.

Buy a book such as Rick Snow's that is dedicated to the series. It will teach you the history of the design, characteristics, and rarity of each date, and more. A good place to buy books at a discount is Brooklyn Gallery Coin & Stamp with which I have no affiliation (I'm just a satisfied customer). Do a Google search and you'll find them.

Like I stated before I know nothing about collecting. I'm just trying to learn. I have a spreadsheet of the ones I have. If you E-mail me your E-mail address, I'll send it to you. I don't have pictures and don't know what slabbed means, nor by whom.

If you will send me your e-mail address, I'll send you the file.
