rcmartin1964 New Member United States 47 Posts	Posted 01/18/2020 10:23 am Here is an interesting Indian Head. Did the die slip when striking or is coin altered ? Is this called anything ? Also any ideas on approximate value. Thanks - Bob Report this Post to the Staff

It appears to be a retained fragment, but it does not show design details. I notice the missing metal on the Indian's cheek, and it seems close to the size of what is retained. Let's wait and see what others say when they weigh in on it. In any event, you have a collectible error. Report this Post to the Staff
rcmartin1964 New Member United States 47 Posts	Posted 01/18/2020 1:05 pm I think the cheek is just a smudge on the coin - not missing metal. Thanks for response - Bob Report this Post to the Staff

rcmartin1964 New Member United States 47 Posts	Posted 01/18/2020 1:09 pm Sorry - can't seem to get cheek closeup on - it keeps putting up the obverse. Any way - I think its just a mark. Found in a large cull bunch I bought. Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 01/18/2020 4:53 pm As to value that is oddly enough only due to what someone would pay for it. Not easily found in error descriptions. Report this Post to the Staff
rcmartin1964 New Member United States 47 Posts	Posted 01/18/2020 6:07 pm Well we'll find out in a week as I think I'll put it up on ebay. I love Indian Heads but would rather have the proceeds to buy higher grade coins. Thanks to all that have/will responded - Bob Report this Post to the Staff
