1863 Indian Head Cent Polished Die - Has anyone heard/seen another?

oih82w8oih82w8 Posts: 12,036 ✭✭✭✭✭
I picked up a little Copper Nickel Indian Cent last night and noticed a couple things about it; Polished Die lines at the ear like the “1864 1C Polished Die FS-401 S-5”, and something in front of the neck, similar to the “1897 1C MPD FS-401 S-1” (1 in Neck).



I may be stretching the later “1 in Neck”, it may be a lamination, but the Polished Die lines seem fairly obvious.



What do you think?



Thank you for your interest and comments. image

    I may have to see if I can find Rick Snow's variety book through the ANA Library.

    I saw another 1863 IHC Polish Die Lines on eBay yesterday...I can't seem to find it on collectors.com.



    I received the coin yesterday and the "protrusion" from the neck appears to be some sort of lamination/flake.

    I have a photo of similar tool marks on an 1864 CN 1c.

    Yes, that would be the "1864 1C Polished Die FS-401 S-5” as mentioned in the OP.

    I thought those were pretty common - guess I was wrong??

    I'm just slow I guess.
    So, you bought the plate coin, so to speak, that was used for the coin facts page.

    That pretty much sums it up. I bought a coin that has an image already posted on CoinFacts, which happens to be an unattributed variety (S-21).
