Hey check this out... I don't see anything, do you? Never even heard of it. Is that just cuz I don't know a lot 'bout IHC's or is that a crazy person? http://cgi.ebay.com/1897-US-Indian-...5|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318|301:1|293:1|294:50
i dont care if its real or not. if the seller cant oblige the request for better pics of what he is calling an error.. then walk away! just my 2 cents
There is an 1897 IHC with a 1 in neck. It appears to be the variety, but without better pics there is no telling. But if it is real, its worth quite a bit of money. Seeing the bids at only $8 is kinda worrisome. But as Daggerjon said:
Great question. yes I do see it. Notice on the throat, by where you might see an Adams apple. you should see the lower serif of the left foot of a 1. Last I read it was an R5 coin and generally runs about 16X the price of a regular date. It is listed as FS1-011.5
Hey thanks for the answer. I do see that now. The g'f and I were thinking that was the spot... cool! Learnin every day!
It looks to be what Rick Snow called an S-1. Years back he said it was scarce in lower grades. Interesting coin.
Hi, Terminology is getting wild so I will add that the coin was the "1 in the neck" die variety. Note...it is not an "error" but a die variety that is an important distinction. Thanks, Bill
