Help Identify Coin Please.. My neighbor keeps coming over with more coins from her dead fathers collection.. No complaints here.. Love it.. Bought some cool ones.. My first Blue toned Jefferson.. and some nice toned Morgans.. But.. This coin.. she is covered in gunk.. corrosion.. but.. I have not collected Indians much.. My Collection is is from about 1870-1909.. No flying eagles.. But at first look that is what I thought it was.. But then the reverse threw me.. any info? Thanks.. 1863 Indian? Did I tell you all lately that I love this site!!!
Here is a site with some more http://www.coinpage.com/Civil%20War%20Token-coin-pictures.html the one you have would be called crossed cannons
Thanks.. I see That the Red Book has no info.. Oh well.. And the site does not show this one.. But I will keep looking.. Thanks again for the help..
George Fuld authored a book on them called civil war store cards that covers most of them, you may want to see if your library has on hand. Also the 5th one down on link provided earlier should be yours
That is a nice one. May not be 'brilliant', but it has personality and a pretty nice circulation cameo.
Wow, Been a great day.. Got 35 dimes at Melt.. most Mercs with a 1834 Bust Dime in Good Cond. Yea! 1 Silver oz. 1902 & 21 Morgan and 6 1964 Halves plus a pile of buffalo's and Wheats, Tokens.. all for 100.00!! Yea! I love my Neighbors! Where is my Microscope?
Nope, right rev, wrong obverse There are five of the crossed cannon in wreath reverses. This is rev 351 and it comes paired with four different indian head obverses. The fifth one down on the earlier link is obv 82with beads on the headband and a different alignment of the stars. This one is obv 79 with LIBERTY on the headband. Fuld 79/351 is an R-1 token.
