SuperPoacher74 Valued Member United States 115 Posts	Posted 03/31/2017 09:01 am I have as part of my collection a 1901 Indian Head penny. It is absolutely beautiful & perfect in every way. My question is, the coin is silver/nickel color. There are no blemishes to make me think it was played etc. I CANNOT find any info on this & I am starting to theorize that it was punched in the wrong planchette? Any info would be greatly appreciated.. Many thanks Report this Post to the Staff
