When it comes to available 1873 DDOs does it get any better than this?

    I love indian cents a lot, but these varieties just don't do it for me. I prefer a nice, well-struck coin over a little mistake any day.

    I'm glad Howard posted. The Shield nickels sometimes don't get the recognition because there are so many varieties, but these two DDO's are definitely cool. Of course the two Indian cent varieties are also cool.

    I love that Indian!

    Are they expensive in circ. grades?
    When in doubt, don't.

    There are 2 Indian cent varieties, commonly called Die 1 and Die 2 or S-1 and S-2 (S stands for Rick Snow, who wrote the book). The S-1 is the more valuable of the two varieties. To see the doubled LIBERTY, you'll need at least a Fine or VF coin, which in Coin Values are $850 and $1500 respectively.
