Nice piece of personal numismatic history.
Definitely a keeper.

 

Very cool.

 

So, "1908 Date of 1907"?

 

@-jeffB

I can't believe i screwed that up.

fixed it.

 

Will you be credited for this in any new publication? Congrats on a great find!

 

Thanks everyone. I found this at my local coin store, and since I saw it had minor repunching I bought it. At first I thought it was Snow-29 in my Cherrypicker's Guide, but I wasn't sure so I brought it to Rick Snow to attribute it at Baltimore whitman, and now here I am. @tommyc03, I think so, I'm not to sure how often he publishes a new edition of his Indian Head Cent attribution book.

 

Nice! I suppose you just keep the attribution along side it, then, as it's not slabbed and attributed on the slab. That'll work. I actually like the fact it's raw. That probably helped the identification along, too, his being able to examine it in-hand. Congratulations!

 

Interesting idea.
I wonder if PCGS or NGC would attribute it as the "discovery" piece?

 

That would be cool. Just my opinion, I do not think they would do it.

 

They won't put "discovery Piece" on any slab. I checked with both of them in person at an ANA show about my 1982 DDR

 

@kanga, I'll think about getting it slabbed, I'm not sure if PCGS or NGC even knows about this variety yet.
@ziggy9 , Too bad about that discovery piece thing, I'm still happy that the coin is attributed to me though!

 

ANACS will slab it as a discovery piece if you provide them proper documentation (i.e. a copy of your letter from Rick Snow).

 

Very cool great find!

 

Yet they slabbed "first coin issued" for one of their Board of Experts on the Kennedy gold. Ridiculous.
