<p>[QUOTE="robbudo, post: 808322, member: 19243"]Indian head cents are my cup of tea too. Aside from a full collection of Indians, I mainly collect Indian cent errors. Some of my favorite errors are in lower grades - I appreciate the higher grade ones, but I have something for the lower grade ones too. I have an 1865 that is 40% off center that is in VG-10. I also have an 1859 that has a rotated reverse of 90 degrees in AG-3. How many people noticed as it changed hands? A penny must have been worth something back then if these coins were in circulation for as long as they were. They've got some serious history. I have two 1908-S indian cents with laminations, but they seem pretty common on those planchets that San Francisco used that first year. I just picked up a 1908-S with some gold-colored metal struck through on the obverse, very excited about that one. I only need 18 more Indian dates in errors and I have the whole collection. I would classify about 6 of those as easy dates, but will be close to impossible. I've only seen one 1877 Indian error and it was a rim clip (and hardly worth the seller's asking price). It would be boring if it wasn't so interesting ...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
