<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Publius2, post: 15270731, member: 105571&quot;]Five of the new coins I picked up at FUN.&nbsp; The other 7 are all Capped Bust Half Dimes which I&#039;ll post after they are catalogued and imaged.</p><p><br /></p><p>First up is a little Anglo-Saxon silver sceatta, probably minted in Frisia, from about 695 to 710 a.d.&nbsp; This has a debased obverse image, supposedly the head of a leader but called the &quot;Porcupine&quot; for obvious reasons.&nbsp; As usual with these coins, I never know if I&#039;ve got the orientation correct.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1532802[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Next is a 1870 Shallow N Indian Head Cent.&nbsp; There are three &quot;types&quot; of reverses of 1870:&nbsp; The Type 1 Shallow N reverse which was a carryover from prior years;&nbsp; the Type 2 which is typified by a mint attempt to strengthen the Ns but which left a kind of hybrid of the Shallow and Bold Ns;&nbsp; and Type 3 which is the Bold N reverse.&nbsp; This shallow N was the last 1870 reverse type I needed for the IHC collection.&nbsp; There is a neat die crack on obverse - see enlarged photo.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1532803[/ATTACH]&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]1532804[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Finally are two IHCs needed as upgrades for the US Type Set, a nice 1862 and 1902:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1532805[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1532806[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
