Just picked an 1890 Indian Head Cent S-1 Triple Die Obverse!

Im pretty excited as this is one of the better cherry-picks Ive had.

wow that's an awesome score how much did you pay for it?

 

$20. A very, very good deal.

 

I'll say that's about a 40-50 dollar profit, I take it you live in the us?
the us has many ignorant people when it come to coins

 

congrats

 

Anyone with Snow's guide should have a field day on eBay with IHC's assuming the grade is high (generally XF or better) and the images large and in focus.

 

Nice looking cent.

 

Nice pickup.

 

I have an 1890 indian head penny in the U of united it looks like another upside down U ..
Mos def DDO as well ...OHHH and colons are below the date like 3 errors in 1 coin??

 

By no means an expert, but going by the photograde standards it falls somewhere in the lower mint state range. Brown of course. Well done.

 

Nice Pick! This is a tough variety to identify as there are so many IHC's with Longacre doubling that most people would ignore the error. My guess is that this one should go a 63. which easily affords you (if you turn it over) a $40 to $50 profit without the variety designation.
Here is a S-1 on eBay. (overpriced IMHO, but still)

Most of the above thread was from 5 years ago, which is OK, as long as you indicate who you were answering Jim

 

Another old thread. Please start a new thread @HushInhale and welcome to CT.

 

I wish the poster would some day post about the coin as looking at it, it didn't look like a DDO , but more like deteriorated die doubling as it all seemed to radiate from the center area of the coin. Most varieties claimed here turn out to not be such. IMO Jim
