I have been looking at Indian Head cents and see descriptions stating "diamonds". What does this refer to? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

There should be four diamonds present on an uncirculated example but they can occasionally be found with some weakness due to striking issues. Report this Post to the Staff

All the listings mentioned diamonds, but I couldn't see diamonds on any of the coins I already owned...

NicO Valued Member United States 136 Posts	Posted 11/30/2011 4:37 pm to the hobby! I too started off with Indian cents. I can't quite pinpoint it, but there's something about the type that continues to intrigue me. It's a beautiful type rich with die varieties definitely worth collecting if you've got the time.
