<p>[QUOTE="frech001, post: 7749431, member: 20616"]Not many collectors of Indian Head cents seem to collect a complete set of mint deliberate die changes. They just fill the holes in standard albums. There are, however, several additional mint design changes that weren't mistakes, as most varieties are, but were intentional changes in design. The 1909 Large L over small L is, in my opinion, one of the most unique changes because the decision to increase the size of the designer's initial for the last coin in the series included using a previous year's master die to which the date "1909" was added (for the first time) as well as stamping the larger L over a smaller L. The links in the attached pdf provide background information. When/if collectors who want a complete collection of all mint intended varieties recognize what constitutes a complete collection, then the price for nice examples like yours will go up. <a href="http://members.iphouse.com/frech001/Al's%20Flying%20Eagle%20and%20Indian%20Head%20Cent%20Complete%20Design%20Set.pdf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://members.iphouse.com/frech001/Al's%20Flying%20Eagle%20and%20Indian%20Head%20Cent%20Complete%20Design%20Set.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://members.iphouse.com/frech001/Al's Flying Eagle and Indian Head Cent Complete Design Set.pdf</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
