fisher904 New Member United States 25 Posts	Posted 01/01/2017 3:59 pm I come accross this and thought it was a cool novelty coin. Does anyone know anything about the 1872 Indian and where it might od come from? It is the size of a Bust Half Dollar. I've seen those really big novelty coins this one is a lot smaller. Thanks in advance for your help. Report this Post to the Staff

Would make an awesome neat binder insert for an Indian set. Not terribly pretty or accurate, but I'm sure no one ever tried to pass it as a cent! Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 01/01/2017 7:28 pm It is curious enough with the size and silly date font. But what amazes me is the rather convincing sense of wear on both sides despite evident mounting at one point. Report this Post to the Staff
