<p>[QUOTE="Joe G, post: 1179310, member: 30996"]I recently inherited some coins that belonged to my Grandfather etc. etc. I'm sure you've heard this part before so I wont go into that. However among them, mostly fairly common coins, I found an 1888 Indian Head penny. On closer examination it looks to me as if it might (stress might) be an 1888/7. I realize the coin is pretty worn but it would still be nice to have if so. Not looking for an appraisal just an opinion other than my own. Thanks in advance for time and trouble. I'm afraid these pictures are the best I can do </p><p>as I don't have a loup (magnifying thingy). The third eight doesnt seem to be consistant in shape with the others as well as having marks on it, upper right area for instance and the centers seem smaller on it too. Of course it could be just some wishful thinking on my part also. Dont ask why the heads side came out red I dont know, something in my digital camera I guess.</p><p><br /></p><p> [ATTACH]123156.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]123158.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]123157.vB[/ATTACH]<img src="http://www.cointalk.com/images/misc/pencil.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://www.cointalk.com/images/misc/pencil.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
