Mikeymus Valued Member United States 110 Posts	Posted 05/16/2015 9:43 pm this is from the same group as the V nickel 15 indian head coins in all but 4 are pretty damaged but of the 4 1 is in better shape and 1 of the other 11 is the oldest of the bunch pretty worn from 1865. 1904 1906 1865 this took a bit of time to locate the 5 but this is a 150 year old coin after all. 1881 1892 1883 1906 1886 1887 1883 the only repeat of the indian group 1884 1888 these are the 4 beat up indian heads only the 1899 is the better of the 4.

The 1886 is a Type 2 since the feather points between the C and A of America. 1886 also comes as a Type 1 where the last feather points between the I and C of America Report this Post to the Staff
Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 05/17/2015 02:03 am I can make out '88' in the extremely damaged coin in the bottom pic, and possibly another 8. Is it an 1888? Report this Post to the Staff
GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 05/17/2015 06:15 am Nice group of Indian Head cents. If I was picking from that group, I would pick the 1886 Ty 2. The Dansco albums require both the type 1 and 2. Seems like finding a ty 2 was harder for me. Report this Post to the Staff
Mikeymus Valued Member United States 110 Posts	Posted 05/17/2015 11:47 am Numisma the extremely damaged one is a 1884 took me a while to figure that one out. But it is interesting to find out my 86 is a subtype redesign and looking at the pictures I can see what you mean about the last feathers and where they point. Of the damaged indian heads only the 1891 and 1899 are better condition but detail wise the 1899 has those beat. As for the 1865 it is in bad shape but it is what it is a 150 year old coin and now I can say I held a piece of history in my hand. What grade would the 1904 and 1883 indian heads get?

MeadowviewCollector Pillar of the Community United States 4409 Posts	Posted 05/17/2015 5:55 pm 1904: VF-range 1883: F-12 I am not the most proficient at grading Indian Head cents. -MV Report this Post to the Staff
Mike1487 Pillar of the Community United States 709 Posts	Posted 05/17/2015 6:42 pm 1904 looks XF-40 to XF-45. The first 1883 is in the VF range. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/01/2015 6:09 pm I think it is very possible that the 88 shown third-from-last could be the 88/7 - the date position seems good. A close-up of the last digit would confirm. Report this Post to the Staff
