I went to my local coin store today and asked the owner if he had any Indian cents in bulk. I told him that I was filling a book and had a list of the one that I needed. He had a small bag that he was saving for somebody but they hadn't been there to pick it up for several months and said that I could search through it. I found severl that I needed including, a 1862,1866,1867,1873,1874,1875,1879, 1884,1885,1886,1894,1909p x3, and the best of all a 1908s. All for the low price of a dollar apeice. I about lost it when I saw the 1908s. They are mostly goods to fines,but the 08s may be better than that.

Wow, you made a killing at a buck a piece. Especially for the 08s and some of those 70s dates. Nice!

Whats the difference on the 1873, as far as the closed 3 or the open 3? I can't tell if the liberty is doubled because its worn off.

I buy a few IHCs, and haven't seen anything like that--wow!
If you post pics of the date area, I'll help you with RPDs.

I tried to take a picture of the 08s but it came out blurry. can I scan them? what would be the best thing to do to get pictures up? I REALLY want to share them with you people.

That wouldn't work here in my area. Too many IHC collectors! Everyone knows the chop[ in the area, has IUHC, and they go for $2.00 each. All common ,late dates. I have been thru them several times, but quit looking,after seeing the same dates, over, and over again. so I search the internet. like everyone else. You werelucky to find the '94, the '60', and '70's, and especially, the '8-S. I would have taken the whole qworks, if I had the money.
