Yes, I bought this today, famous year in the Indian Cent Series. Hoping, when I got it home I can analyze and do closer research on the headband. Seeking for that doubling. Is there any markers to find the famous variety?


Trying to detect any sort of doubling on her eye.

    Check out the eyelid. I don’t think you got one there but never know until it’s in hand I guess.

    Looks like a normal "eye" to me....sorry. May look different in hand though. :)

    The coin is so worn by her headband, it's very difficult to detect. Just think, it is possible it's under all that mess? Lol.
    Any markers on the reverse?

    Show the reverse to see if there is a die lump between the C and the wreath. If there is No DDO, if not, likely. Wear of this coin could play a major factor in proving either.

    Don't see one. Possibly a ddo. Check Rick Snows Attribution Guide and check for S1b reverse attributes.
    Good luck.

    Thanks for all the info, Esp. with Snow's descriptions/pics! ;)
    Didn't realize they're were so many markers, cool.
    Yeah, you guy's are all correct in not seeing any signs of the Major Variety. I agree! Thanks again, guy's. I suggest to anyone to try the test. It was very interesting and at the same time, FUN. I feel it was well worth the $10 I spent. Sure, I don't have the Key but I did have fun trying to enter the door. Lol. ;)

    The example you have is an open 3. As far as I know all the doubled Liberty's are close 3s. Nice to see you taking interest in the Indian Heads lately. Have fun!

    Oh? I have the "Open 3"? Wow, did not realize that. Can you show the difference? Thanks for pointing that out, buddy. ;)
