It is way cool that it is a Proof but sad that they are less valued than the Business Strikes! I have no knowledge or experience with Proof Indian Head Cents, so that tidbit was the fartherest from my mind when I gave my assessment of the coin. Thanks Rick! I will pay more attention and try to learn more about the Proof IHC's. I have concentrated more on the Matte Proof Lincolns and Cherrypicked a 1911 Matter Proof off of eBay last year. Although it was not my most valued find, I still considered it my best find to date! Frank
