RobertGomez New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 12/30/2014 10:03 am Who's an expert on Indian Heads? I believe I have an 1888/7 Indian Head cent, but I'm not sure. How obvious should it be? If you look very closely with a loupe, you can see what I think is the top of a 7 above the last eight. Should I get my hopes up? Report this Post to the Staff

RobertGomez New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 12/31/2014 10:21 am Sorry, this is the best picture I could get with a mediocre phone camera and keeping it under 100 KB. What I see is a bit of discoloration above the last eight. I just want to make sure I won't sell a $1000 penny for $1. Thank you all for the help!! Report this Post to the Staff
Mike1487 Pillar of the Community United States 709 Posts	Posted 12/31/2014 2:37 pm You should be looking under the 8 rather than the top. Here is my 1888/7, see the bump under the 8? A picture of your entire obverse would be helpful to check date positioning. Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 12/31/2014 4:59 pm Date position and the bump at the bottom are the telltales. As you can see from Mike's coin, the bottom of the 7 is visible even on well-worn coins. Report this Post to the Staff
