If I were you I'd check the 1864 for the "L". I think that was that year.

nice finds.
dont know about the grades, but the vdb looks nice, not very much wear on it

Looking it up as we speak! =D
I also found a 1888 IH that I think may be 8/7 but it is just so hard to tell. Ughh I need a microscope!

Neat finds!

Since you can't make out the "L" I don't think it will get a premium even it it was an "L" variety, but looking at the bust I think this is rounded and not pointed. Still a nice starting coin, my first 64'.

lol just weighed it, its copper nickel!! It can't be "L"variety!

You are correct, it is not the L type. As for the 1909 I would call it XF45 although you could possibly squeak an AU out at service but for the submission costs it wouldnt matter. Cool pick ups for you-congrats.

Is it me, or is that a big ole' cud on the obverse of that Indian?

How did I miss that?! I thought it was just rim damage and didn't even look at it really. I was so focused on the date. It does look like it could be to me but I'm no expert.
