Indian Head Cent?

I check out the war nickels ebay page from time to time and I run across Indian head cents and I wonder why sellers list them with war nickels. Here's the number if there's a problem 220555231955. Am I missing something, was there an IHC that had nickel in the composition? Anyone?

from 59'-64' they contained 12% nickel.

 

Not all the 64's are CUNI or copper nickel, there is also the bronze L and No L varieties.

 

Well, now I know!! CT, best coin forum on the planet, period!! :thumb:

 

Many sellers don't pay attention when they are listing coins in several categories.
If they are listing War Nickels they may be choosing the "Sell Similar" option, then forget when they switch to IHCs.

 

Your search probably hit on key word "nickle' :thumb:
