Those are much more complete and better struck than the little boogers I had once! Mine were on pretty oblong flans. There were about a...
That Indian cent happens to be a pattern coin. It is an 1858 prototype of the Indian cent design that was first produced in 1859. The shield on...
You mean the "P" in PLURIBUS? That's the only "P" I can think of that should be on the back of a Lincoln Memorial cent. If you're referring to...
