Nice find! It certainly has a lot of character

edix2001 · May 25, 2009 7:41AM

cull-arific!

That 77 has just about everything messed up except for the date.

GrumpyEd · May 25, 2009 7:51AM

Will you try to get that 77 in a gennie holder?

FilthyBroke · May 25, 2009 8:00AM

A five pound bag of IHC culls.....sounds like a fun project.

Probably a few little surprises to be discovered, I'd bet.

AndyMac · May 25, 2009 8:27AM

What does one do with 700+ Indian Culls?

gonzer · May 25, 2009 8:35AM

Nice find, an 1880-0. Never seen one!

braddick · May 25, 2009 8:44AM

I am going to send the 77 into PCGS for their Genuine holder.

I would do the same!

Overdate · May 25, 2009 8:55AM

Will they have a hard time shoehorning it into the round slot?

The holder I placed it in to photograph the coin(s) is perfectly round and, surprisingly, it fit just right.

Congratulations on finding culls in your bag of culls.

If genuine, it'll be interesting to see which secret code they place on the holder... what code does PCGS use when there are multiple problems with a coin???

So where does one get a 5-pound bag of Indian culls?

ambro51 · May 25, 2009 10:29AM

Will you be recording all the dates and doing a statistical workup?

that would be interesting!

braddick · May 25, 2009 10:32AM

<< Will you be recording all the dates and doing a statistical workup?

You would be bored. Talk about some truly ugly coins. A couple of surprises but otherwise...

I did think about getting a cheap used DANSCO and seeing how many holes I could fill. Now that the key date is among them.
(No 09-S or 08-S though.)

I also counted 655 so I suppose I didn't even get a full five pounds but somehow, someway, I'll work past that disappointment.

I see 5 red stars and a beat to bejesus 1877.

Dentuck · May 25, 2009 10:48AM

I wonder if the 1901 was in a "Keep Me And You'll Never Be Broke"-type encasement at some point.

WoodenJefferson · May 25, 2009 10:54AM

Looks like the 1877 cent was retrieved from the owners pocket
in order to replace a broken piece of flint.

Good luck.

TwoSides2aCoin · May 25, 2009 11:29AM

Even when we think it's just chump change, there are small little treasures just waiting for the "

eye of the cherrypicker" to spy.

lope208 · May 25, 2009 12:08PM

Just finding that 1877 was worth the time for the search. UGLY, but it'd be cool to have anyday

Overdate · May 25, 2009 12:13PM

Have you thought about having it conserved?

Swampboy · May 25, 2009 3:56PM

<< First off what is a cull? >>

What you get here.

rbf · May 25, 2009 6:45PM

<< ...what is a cull? >>

A "cull" is a coin that's badly damaged and/or heavily worn to the extent that it is not salable by grade, and generally sells for less than AG money.

yellowjacket · May 26, 2009 1:29AM

I agree with Dentuck that the 1901 was an encased cent at some point. When I saw the image with the flattened areas at the rim, I thought the same.
