<p>[QUOTE=&quot;frech001, post: 2165362, member: 20616&quot;]IHCs are my favorite because these were probably the first commonly collectible coin series in our nation and because there is a wealth of information about them.&nbsp; Several reference books provide the history of the times for each date.&nbsp; Check out these three websites:&nbsp; <a href="http://indiancentvarieties.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://indiancentvarieties.com" rel="nofollow">http://indiancentvarieties.com</a>, <a href="http://www.indiancent.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.indiancent.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.indiancent.com</a>, &amp; <a href="http://www.fly-inclub.org" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.fly-inclub.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.fly-inclub.org</a>.&nbsp; There are excellent references in both printed and digital format.&nbsp; The Fly-In Club has several decades of their quarterly journal available in pdf.&nbsp; Slabbed coins often contain unmarked varieties and are a safer choice.&nbsp; I prefer circulated ungraded coins because they are the most affordable and provide the extra element of risk &amp; reward.&nbsp; As with any series, there are counterfeits in key dates out there that need to be watched for.&nbsp; So, knowledge is your main challenge.&nbsp; Research first, and establish a goal of type and grades before you start.&nbsp; In addition to toning are wood grained colored coins, which some collectors like.&nbsp; If you want an extra challenge, collecting varieties will provide that.&nbsp; I made the mistake of filling holes before I understood this series and ended up selling most of them when I finally decided what to collect.&nbsp; The Fly-In-Club has a forum where you can seek advice from experts in this series.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
