Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/10/2022 3:42 pm Just a combination of wear and corrosion that has eaten away at the metal. Edited by Coinfrog 06/10/2022 3:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21608 Posts	Posted 06/10/2022 4:17 pm The coin is missing a lot of copper, that's why it is light. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/10/2022 6:44 pm Just a coin now. The years/abusers have taken its toll on this coin. Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 06/10/2022 11:22 pm One very worn out, sad Indian. Carry it around for another hundred years and it might disappear into nothing. Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 06/11/2022 01:22 am I'm surprised it still weighs that much. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
RedRaider Pillar of the Community United States 1020 Posts	Posted 06/11/2022 11:44 am Its actually an 1892 due to the placement of the last feathertip. But as stated, corrosion and wear ate at the weight on this one. Report this Post to the Staff

Good catch - I don't know much about this type (yet), so I had no idea of the different variety. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
