Indian head stuck though grease?

found this looking though a bag of wheat pennies. I here they are common, but it's still cool to find one.

Neat.

 

Very nice looking. It's great that it was in with Wheat Cents.

 

Dates which are obscure, intrigue me. Please post a few varying size closeups and use 'thumbnail".

 

Now if it only had an S mint mark.

 

'filled die' struck thru grease or machinery oil.

 

Thanks for the photos.
Dr. Ransom has performed a postmortem on the subject coin and has reached his analysis regarding the state of decomposition and other pertinent details. Age, 132 years, born 1888, see photo #2. Cause of overall condition, age and wear. Secondary abuse (material removal) to the date on the obverse and below the wreath on the reverse caused by a foreign device. Conclusion: An attempt to trick one into thinking the coin was a 1908 S.

 

That's some eulogy for this old coin.

 

My wife is laughing so hard, she peed her pants.
