Absolutely incredible! All those 1894's! All those RPDs! All those Doubled Dies!

Thanks everyone! The 1894 Indians were very unexpected. PCGS only estimates 175 exist in all grades which means I own almost 2% of all of them!

After inspecting the 1964 IHC in hand again, it appears to be broadstruck, not struck off center.

The 1894's are cool coins but aren't worth that much, maybe 30-40 bucks each in that condition. Not worth sending in imo.

Great score for Grape man! Those coins were probably put away many years ago before all the die variety craze.

@52Raymo, prehaps. ButI'm only paying $18 to get them holdered, but I'll think about your advice.
@IGE, probably, but given the concentration maybe the previous owner was a variaty collector?
@Susanlynn, thanks!

I would use an ANACS grading special for the varieties.

I planned on using ANACS, I have about 30 coins built up for them, and I just sent them some a few weeks ago!

It takes time muddy, as long as you have the will and dedication it's easy to learn. CCF is a phenomenal resource and they taught me what I know.
