I found a few - 1897 Indian Head cents with the base of the number 1 protruding through the throat. They are pretty worn but I looked through about 4000 coins and to me that's a win. This is the roughest coin of the five and you can still see the base of the number one fairly nicely. I read this error is said to be one of the top errors sought after in the Indian Head cent. It is listed as Snow-1, MPD-001 and FS-401.

Definitely a cool find and 2x2 worthy. Well done!

Tigershore,

Nice find. Best to take pics of coins out of 2x2 holders. Your close up pics looks a bit pixelated?
