Indian Head Lot From Ebay

Thanks for that pic biokemist, mercuryman is my son.

The coin we have has something going on between the 1.30 and 4.30 O'clock position (right side) on the 9 and on The 4 at the 12 O'clock position has similar thing going on away from the top of the 4 similar to the pic. BUT, we do not have the situation with 8 as in the pic you provided.

Unfortunately, I do not have a scanner and the camera just will not focus on the date. Thanks again. I will have the local coin shop owner take a look. Hopefully, no one has messed with / tried to alter this coin.

Peace

Congrats! Looks like you got a great deal!

Thank you. My dad and I think we got a good deal because the pictures were not good.

We also bid on a Wheat penny lot some time back for which I averaged 9 cents per wheat. In the wheat pile so far we have found 5 - 1909 (VF ++), 8 1914's (No D's) , 3 1915's, 1 each of 16 d & s (around 16 p's), 20 1917's (I have check these over) and 3 steels (p,d and s in XF++ closer to au). All the dates are there except the KEYS.

I have to re look at a lot of these when time permits as my son has already located to 2 1955's where the second 5 is doubled on the right side and the local coin shop owner confirmed it. But, he is saying it's only worth around $ 2 to 3 each and referred to them as the poor mans dd.

We are both happy as we got close to 250 wheat's pre 30's and the rest about evenly split pre and post steel. Also the coins are clean with only about 40 with the green stuff (across all dates in total).

Although I am new to this - IF you are patient and do your homework PRIOR to the auction then you know what a good price is and also be willing to pay a FAIR price to the seller without going over board.

To circle back - the remaining IHC's are probably worth $3/each or higher as is. Only one coin is totally wasted. On the pic we saw it looked like most (8) of the coins were wasted and I was only going after the 1909. I only wish I knew of a safe way to clean them without any harm.

Peace
