<p>[QUOTE="frech001, post: 2187386, member: 20616"]Check out this site: <a href="http://www.indiancent.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.indiancent.com" rel="nofollow">www.indiancent.com</a></p><p>Also check out the links on that site and the books available and the Fly-In Club link, which provides access to a member's forum and an excellent journal called "Longacre's Ledger" with 34 years of back issues in pdf accessible on their website. Indian Head Cents are probably the most popular U.S. coins collected next to the Lincoln Cent. If you are happy with coins that were actually circulated and in the pockets of our ancestors then you should have no problem collecting a whole set, but define the set first. If you choose to collect the varieties, which were actually mint errors, you may never complete the set because new varieties are still being discovered, which adds to the challenge of the hunt. There is a lot written about this series making it a wonderful U.S. history lesson as well. Once you have the 1877, the rest are cheaper. The Flying Eagle cents are generally collected with this series, but they were only circulated for 2 years. A collection of all the intentional mint varieties (hub designs) for the Flying Eagles is only 8 coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
