    1864 L RPD 15 I found this one this afternoon going through some raw specimens I had laying around. A nice 1864 L IHC variety. 1864 L IHC.jpg 1864 RPD date.jpg

    Don't have any right now except the stuff in my detector finds album.

    Here's one, just as it was found.

    There's another at around the 21:00 minute mark in this, the longest of my detecting videos. (Target #10 of a ten-target outing.)





    This is the highest grade one I've owned, back in my PCGS Registry type set days in the early 2000s.

    (The somewhat sucky small images were done on a flatbed scanner.)

    Sweet! Wanna sell it? ;):woot:

    I had an old ANACS PR62 that was super nice, too. Lots of bang for the buck with the 62 grade, sometimes.

    I just found another IHC in my collection that deserves a post. This one I have PM Russ Doughty about...It's an 1876. Now there's two things I have noticed about the year 1876 IHC's . One is that they are darker in color, most of the ones I have ran across are very dark brown ,few I've seen in the lighter chocolate color or even copper color.
    This specimen has a dot on its reverse After Private Messaging Russ he wants to see my coin and share the following links.

    https://indianvarieties.com/cents/indian-head-cents/1898-indian-head-penny/1898-odd-001/
    https://indianvarieties.com/cents/indian-head-cents/1883-indian-head-penny/1883-odd-001/
    https://indianvarieties.com/cents/i...-indian-head-penny/1864-no-l-cud-004-odd-004/

    This may be a "new discovery" as to another year that an IHC has a dot placed on the coin. Notice the O.NE on the reverse.
    The most famous the 1875 Dot variety....which I will let you research the reason or story behind the dot.....it is a good read!

    The last image of an 1876 Love Token shown to compare coin color as you can see it also is dark.

    That's a hella sweet pickup at thirty bucks, methinks.

    But you'd have to send me ten or twelve of 'em to dislodge my Peacock HTT from its roost in the Eclectic Box. ;)

    Still looking for my first Indian head penny metal detecting. That is a goal for this coming year.

    PCGS didn't care for the color. I can see why. It was messed with at some point. She is happy in my 7070 album.

    Put your coil to the soil in enough old Victorian neighborhoods enough times, and it'll happen eventually. Note that they can come in slightly below "cent" range on most detector ID meters I've used. Often in "zinc cent" range or even down into the midrange where aluminum screwcaps will signal in. So sometimes a similar meter reading to a Zincoln or a screwcap, but a bit deeper and quieter on the audio than those, if that makes any sense to you.

    The color seems to me to be natural to me also, as to what I've seen before in this color scale... nice coin raw or graded I like it.

    I paid a crazy price for this one. Some of you guys may know Jeremy. He did an auction each year to raise money for cancer research. I'm proud to say that I paid five times it's value.
