It's very important to have in the title. * Hi All and thank you in advance for your helpful answers. I have an 1883 Indian Head cent with what might be a stamping error? The "D" and "S" in "UNITED STATES" are very poor while the rest of the letters are clear and the 2 "A"s in AMERICA are legible while "MERIC" is near completely illegible. Note "OF" and "1883" are very clear. Is there anything special or collectible about this? Again, thank you for your insight. Report this Post to the Staff
