This coin has seen better days but considering its age, that's understandable.. I have a 1907 Indian Head Cent and the 9 isn't connected like this.. The date doesn't look right age or not.. Any opinions.. TY
17 more years of wear and tear. Plus the 07 might have been in a penny loafer and not circulated as much.
It's 'connected' due to wear, and surface problems. It's a normal coin, with wear and some environmental surface damage, imo
Put it back into circulation for another 130 years and you will have the ultra-rare "disappearing date" Indian cent . . . . . Z
What Fred said. Being an known expert, I have to agree with him that it is just circulation wear. I've seen other coins that appear much like yours. Nice old coin to fill a hole, that's for sure. Good photos by the way. Thanks.
I suspect in some past time the number took a hit, the metal was moved and circulation wear did the rest.
