Beautiful Larry...

 

WOW, some beautiful IHP in this thread.
I recently started a set about 4 months ago, shooting to eventually have a full set of MS cents.... prob won't finish it for 20 years tho.

I guess I'll post all that I have in my book so far.....

These are in order of purchase fyi

 

This was the first Bu IHP I ever bought, and I overpaid for it by quite a margin.
There does seem to be some clashing on the obverse, I have seen similar clash on many other dates, if anyone knows what part of the reverse design is clashed in front of the indians face, please let me know. I hate the spots on this coin, so it may be replaced at some point.

 

This one is my personal favorite so far, as I got it for a very good price on the 'Bay, and it has that lovely grape juice toning. Pictures do not show how nice the mint luster is on this one.

 

Nice mint luster on this one, but other than that not much to be said.

 

90% sure this one is AT, but if anyone thinks it might be original, please let me know. Nice luster on this one too, but not great compared to all the others.

 

My most recent purchase, and I love the luster on this one. In hand it is stunning, and the color seems original in hand. Nice problem free coin.

 

love my IHCs here's a couple of pretties for you

 

This one is not for the book, but I thought I'd post it here. Got this one on the 'Bay, and the photos were soooo blurry I was taking a chance at this one. Got it in hand, and it turns out to be FS-1401 Lathe lines!!!!!! Rarest variety I have ever found. Mine does seem to be a later die stage, and interestingly has a clashed die on the reverse. Beautiful toning especially on reverse. Die has so much polishing, the reverse looks almost pl, and no it's not PMD cleaning.
Considering submitting this one

 

I love that 1908 BN. Nice coin!

 

Unfortunate about the details designation but still a attractive coin.

 

I got offered that one at a great price... I've learned to look past "detail" grades if the eye appeal is there to make up for it

 

One of my favorite Indian Head Cents in my collection. The reverse photo was taken with the wreath being rotated as compared to the obverse.

Very colorful collection

 

Easier to tell now. Thanks

 

I have a 1863 with errors and I'm wondering for sure the error variety and it's value. Someone told me it's variety 36. There's a crack around 8 o'clock and a cud I guess around 5 o'clock going off the middle ribbon fork.

 

There are some really nice IHC's Here. I'm fairly new at this and it seems grading these beauties takes up about half the alphabet. Here are a couple of mine. Will have a few 1909's up asap.
