The Indian cent conversation brings up old memories for me. Life is full of different perspectives and History is full of experiences and what not we can never truly understand. I tell this story only for humorus purposes.
I grew up in a town with a fairly large Lakota population. Steve & Tim, who were 2 brothers, (Don't let the Irish names fool you), were the only lakota friends i had who collected any kind of coins.
Steve was 2 years older and a very laid back guy. He collected Tatanka (Buffalo) nickels and had a pretty impressive collection.
Tim who was 1 year younger than me and generally know for his fierce views and fiery temper collected Indian cents.
We all shared a quasi metal detector, basement coin dealer, friend.
One day I asked Tim about collecting Indian cents. (Everybody else collected lincoln's) He said he had no interest in collecting a Washitu man's coins. (White)
I pointed out to Tim that the person on the Indian cent was suppose to be a white girl.
He told me back that he would much rather collect pictures of pretty Washitu girls than coins with any of his butt ugly relatives on them. James
