I find myself with a small collection of Indian type coins... $10 Indian, $5 and $2.5 incuse Pratts, $3, $1 type 3, Indian Head cent, Buffalo nickel, and Sacagawea dollar. Is there a generally accepted list of Indian type coins to comprise a collection? I'm wondering if I'd need a type 2 $1 in addition to the type 3...and how about the Oregon Trail commemorative with the beautiful Indian on the obverse? How about the 2001silver Buffalo/Indian?? Or any others that would fit the parameters? Anybody else with an Indian collection? Anybody with any thoughts on this matter?
I never thought about it. I know there are people that try for a collection of all the different types of coins with Eagles on them, but never heard anyone trying to acquire a collection of all the coins with Indians or Indian items on them. Now would you consider the newer Buffalo Nickels as Indian coinage? Then there are tokens to consider. Probably the best thing is to just go page by page in the Red Book for Indian Coinage. Contact an Indian reservation and ask them.
I don't know about the "generally accepted list" so collect what you like. If you think a certain coin belongs with others than add it.
Those $3's are pricey if they are not cleaned. My brother picked up a cleaned one at an auction cheap a few years ago
