Most of my Indian Head cents came from the bargain bin.

None of them look like that.

Here's one:

Cherrypicked a 1864 IHC Labeled As No L because "Band Not Legible" I picked it by the pointed bust. Payed $5, sold for $40.

Keep your eyes open!

Does it count as a "score" if you didn't know it was a score until more than 15 years later?

Around 2000 I bought the Polish coin shown below at a western European auction house for less than 100 euro.

In the intervening 15 years, this type has been cataloged in more detail, and this example turns out to be a rather scarce variety for the date/mint. The last auction sale I could find was in 2016, for about $700 before buyer's premium (and it was an example with less eye appeal): https://wcn.pl/archive/124691?q=pol...+1581&page=2

Very recently, I found 1972 LMC DDO. I thought it was 1DO-007, but it turned out to be 1DO-002! http://goccf.com/t/344877

GrapeCollects, that's funny, because I was looking for that one too! Just got lucky on that one. Probably won't find another one. Persistent and endless searching does/will pay off eventually.
