It is an Indian Head Cent in average circulated condition. There were 17,650,000 made. In 1886 there was a design change, resulting in type 1 and...
I decided to get back to my copper roots. I've got a Draped Bust coming in the mail that I'm looking forward to posting. :) Old copper is so cool.
When you go to the home cointalk page and see the titles like "US coins forum" or "error coins", you click it and it will take you to a list of...
Go to a subforum and click the "post new thread" in the top right area. Jay, the coin you post is a tough one. It could be a deteriorated die,...
