Check out this 1872 S-11 Indian Cent

Atlantic

Hello All,
I bought an 1872 this week to upgrade my set and when I got it under the scope I discovered it was a S-11, 1 in neck.
I bought this coin from Harry Laibstain Rare Coins.
My camera will not show the repunched date but it is very clear with the loupe
This bad boy also has a die polish mark that makes what looks like a pin thru the ear.

The variety is a nice bonus of course, but that is one heck of a monster coin regardless!

I was clueless to what an S-11 is, but an 1872 Indian is respectable in any grade, let alone 64 RB.

Now that's a coin with character.

Congrats on the purchase and the variety discovery

It must have been a good feeling when you put the loupe to this one and saw the diagnostics/ die characteristics of a variety. This is the "vam" inside the numismatist, ... or is it a snowjob
You have geek written all over you and I'm proud to be associated with your kind.

wow... '72 is perhaps just as tough to find nice as the '77... very nice!

Thanks for the kind words, Yes Joe my wife calls me a geek all the time,
when I started checking this bad boy out I could not believe all the character it has, to say the least I was quite pleased,
I feel very fortunate to add it to my set.
