shnaggletooth New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 10/09/2007 7:10 pm I've noticed that none of my other Indian Heads have reeded edges. I don't know if this is an error coin, or was modified by someone long ago. Notice the scratches on the face of the coin; hard to tell if whoever made those scratches also spent a whole bunch of time creating a reeded edge (or, if it's even possible for someone to reed an edge).

daveyn Valued Member United States 160 Posts	Posted 10/10/2007 08:31 am Hello shnaggletooth There are no reeded edged 1860 Indian cents on record, and it is a pretty poor looking tamper job. I guess someone was just bored, and didn't have much else to do. Later, Report this Post to the Staff
