Think I Found Something? 1864 Indian Head

I agree with Bill (foundinrolls) completely except for the part about it being cleaned. Heavily worn coins are often hairlined, and since it's a CN coin, it probably "looks" different from what we would expect from a bronze coin.

BTW, this is NOT an "L" variety. The end of the bust is rounded, not pointed.

In addition, it is the dirt and debris that is remaining in the smaller letters that indicates cleaning (especially on the obverse) . The fact that the insides of the lettering on the reverse is not as "grungy" as the insides of the lettering on the obverse is another dead giveaway since the dirt from inside the larger letters on the reverse is easier to remove.

So it isn't just the hairlines, its a combination of things.

Thanks,
Bill
PS: Most people don't want to hear that their coins were cleaned so there is always a reluctance to accept it. There are signs that we learn to look besides hairlines and minute scratches and this coin has most of them.
