dohcollector Valued Member Belgium 464 Posts	Posted 10/19/2015 08:46 am thank you for the quick responss :) i did not know it was added intentionally to prolong the die this is good info guys. was looking at my 1883 just now and it also has the same longacre doubling do these ICH also have diffrent dies between them? if so what cataloge would u use for that last question though, just to make shure.does this longacre doubling add to value? prolly not if it is intentional..

The newest book on these varieties is Snow's 3rd edition Here's the two book set for sale on ebay 181785960996 The book also comes as a PDF which is cheaper than having a physical book. http://www.indiancent.com/index.php....ViUoOH6rTIU I will say that unless you are going to actively pursue IHC varieties, you'll be better off spending your money on coins.

dohcollector Valued Member Belgium 464 Posts	Posted 10/19/2015 4:02 pm thank you MeadowviewCollector I don't think I will activly persue the varieties, although I have a great deal of ICH cents just missing the pre 1864's and 1866-1879 -'74 i was just wondering what the cataloge would set me back and you answerd that....kinda :) but yeah, looks like buying the books is to rich for my blood. if it would be 30-50$ then I could live with that Report this Post to the Staff
MeadowviewCollector Pillar of the Community United States 4409 Posts	Posted 10/19/2015 4:24 pm If you're after a book that has a date by date analysis then you might want to look into acquiring a copy of A Guide Book of Flying Eagle and Indian Head cents it is a more affordable than the one I listed above. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/07...r_1_1&sr=8-1 -MV Report this Post to the Staff
westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9793 Posts	Posted 10/30/2015 2:45 pm And - Now that Rick's latest two volume set is out, his older attribution guides are going for pretty good prices on ebay and other used book sites, I've seen some at under $20.00 lately, they used to bring $50+ the only thing with the latest book, is he has added a lot of newer varieties and much better text and photos. The older guides are still quite relevant. If you are really into the IHC consider joining the Fly-In club, another great resource and they publish a fantastic journal too.
