<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 765528, member: 16948&quot;]I mentioned this coin on my Ontario show report, so here are some photos!&nbsp; I bought this piece (1862 NGC MS65) at the Ontario show and noticed it had die polishing lines over the ear.&nbsp; I have seen a couple other dates with this same type of die striations and figured I&#039;d just look up the Snow number when I had a break in the show.&nbsp; I usually carry a set of Rick&#039;s Attribution Guide with me so when I went to the 1862 section, I discovered there were no 1862 Indian cents with this variety!&nbsp; I thought maybe it just didn&#039;t make it into the book yet (since this volume was published several years ago), so I called Rick and asked him whether he knew of any 1862&#039;s with the die polishing marks like the 1875 or 1865, and he said no he didn&#039;t know of any.&nbsp; I asked him if that meant the coin I just bought would be considered a &quot;discovery coin&quot; and he said YES!&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I told Rick I would bring the coin to him at FUN so he could photograph it and assign a new Snow number.&nbsp; I am so excited to have &quot;discovered&quot; a new variety, and to have my name in the next edition of Rick&#039;s Attribution Guide!!!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/1862NGCMS65-001obv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/1862NGCMS65-001rev.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/1862NGCMS65-001closeup.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
