I6609 Pillar of the Community United States 1228 Posts	Posted 04/24/2023 08:36 am Keep in mind I know nothing about IHC but what are the odds this is a proof coin . This is just another question not an answer to your question it does look a little different to me and in pretty good shape with a very good strike Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/24/2023 11:08 am Slight MAD setup on the dies. Not a premium for the coin, not an off center coin. Not a proof cent. The design is stronger on the proof cents. They are struck twice: https://images.PCGS.com/CoinFacts/2...099_2200.jpg Note the strike on the proof coin?

Ploopy Pillar of the Community United States 1788 Posts	Posted 04/24/2023 10:36 pm I believe this is a counterfeit, check out the link and photos of a similar example. The date looks incorrect, mushy strike weird rims etc. Photos are bad though. https://www.indianvarieties.com/cou...t/#iLightbox[gallery-1]/19 Report this Post to the Staff
Tjames88 Valued Member Canada 196 Posts	Posted 04/24/2023 11:41 pm I'm more interested in the colour of the coin is it brown or is it toned like that because of how it was stored. Or does it normally look like that Report this Post to the Staff
Ploopy Pillar of the Community United States 1788 Posts	Posted 04/25/2023 12:40 am With these new pics I think it looks real now, but that color isn't really natural. Probably cleaned and retoned Report this Post to the Staff
indian_hoarder Pillar of the Community United States 5079 Posts	Posted 04/25/2023 11:38 pm This coin is 100% a counterfeit, made from a commonly seen die. Besides all the obvious details that can identify it as such, the most telltale marker is the die flaw by the denticles just above the 1st feather. Looks like an extra lump of metal coming out of the denticles. Edited by indian_hoarder 04/25/2023 11:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff
