<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 886906, member: 16948&quot;]I&#039;ve posted these pieces at various times so they might look familiar, but I thought I&#039;d post some of my more interesting Indian cents all in one thread.&nbsp; The first few are neat Indian cent exoneumia pieces some of which I only recently acquired, and the rest are some of my more favorite Indian cent errors that I&#039;ve collected over the years.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This first one I posted not too long ago - it&#039;s a really neat 1900 watch fob.&nbsp; I originally saw this same piece on Ebay about 10-12 years ago and placed a bid but didn&#039;t win it.&nbsp; I never forgot it because it was so unique.&nbsp; Then at the March Baltimore, a collector offered me this fob which is the exact one I bid on when it was on Ebay.&nbsp; I was so thrilled to be able to buy this fob!&nbsp; I also bought this neat advertising pocket mirror from him.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://bluccphotos.com/clients/charmy/4-5-10/web/Images/8.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://bluccphotos.com/clients/charmy/3-11-10/Images/4.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://bluccphotos.com/clients/charmy/3-11-10/Images/5.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This is what is often referred to as a &quot;Pie Cutter&quot; or &quot;Pie Crimper&quot; but since this one doesn&#039;t have the hole in the middle, either it wasn&#039;t finished or it was made for some other use, perhaps a gear.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://bluccphotos.com/clients/charmy/3-12-10/Images/29.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I bought this 1864-L on Ebay over 10 years ago and posted it on the forums last year to elicit ideas as to how it was made.&nbsp; Most agreed it was machine &quot;engrailed&quot; most likely for a jewelry piece.&nbsp; This is one of my favorites pieces too.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://bluccphotos.com/clients/charmy/webedits/Images/14.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>These two are neat brockages and though the first one doesn&#039;t state it on the label, it&#039;s also a little off center.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://bluccphotos.com/clients/charmy/3-12-10/Images/6.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://bluccphotos.com/clients/charmy/sc11-29-09/web/Images/16.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This one has a nice reverse strike thru.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://bluccphotos.com/clients/charmy/3-12-10/Images/5.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I really like the lustrous toning on this error.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://bluccphotos.com/clients/charmy/sc11-29-09/web/Images/4.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This is one of my very favorite coins in my collection.&nbsp; I bought this 1886 raw several years ago not knowing it had the split planchet.&nbsp; It wasn&#039;t until I removed it from the 2x2 that I saw the clamshell and was thrilled.&nbsp; Once NGC began using the Edgeview holders, I decided to get it graded and was happy that NGC agreed with my MS65 assessment!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://bluccphotos.com/clients/charmy/8-12/web/Images/19.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I also bought this one raw and really love the long strike thru, most likely from a piece of string from a cleaning cloth.&nbsp; See how it goes across the cheek to Liberty then down through the date.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://bluccphotos.com/clients/charmy/may09lb/web/Images/9.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And last, but not least, is a nice early Civil War erra clipped planchet.&nbsp; </p><p>Again, I bought this raw from another dealer a couple years ago and sent it to NGC after they began using the Edgeview holders - notice how one of the prongs fits right where the clip is and doesn&#039;t even tough the coin!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://bluccphotos.com/clients/charmy/webedits/Images/13.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
