CoinEnthusiast Valued Member United States 485 Posts	Posted 05/10/2023 11:41 pm Here's an 1868 Indian cent that came in a lot of Indian Head cents that I won recently. With that said, I am not certain that this coin is genuine. I wanted to get everyone else's thoughts. Report this Post to the Staff

westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7651 Posts	Posted 05/11/2023 12:19 am Authentic, XF Details due to corrosion on the obverse from "STATES" and across the face and head dress. The reverse looks pretty nice. Report this Post to the Staff

MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2004 Posts	Posted 05/11/2023 08:52 am Frog calls it! In addition the obverse is grainy, mushy details and the denticles have issues. Put me in the fake crowd. Report this Post to the Staff

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 05/11/2023 12:23 pm Maybe it's a remarkable coincidence but all three of your coins have the same flat spot in the rim above the shield transitioning into a Rim Fin. Show us another coin from the lot you purchased. (1868 1870 1908 top to bottom) Report this Post to the Staff
