<p>[QUOTE="mark_h, post: 622068, member: 3726"]Welcome to the hobby and you gotta love the baby coppers - especially the IHC(Indian Head Cents)! And now lets show you a few of mine <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/forum/t52971/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/forum/t52971/">Run number 1</a> and <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/forum/t53906/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/forum/t53906/">Run Number 2</a>. I hope the links work. I really hope I can get you hooked on collecting IHC's. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Also look for threads started by the penny lady. She has some that just put mine to shame. I have three sets of these puppies going - high grade, Dansco album and a whitman folder(low grade). So the links are to the high grade coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now to see what polish and cleaning can do to a coin:</p><p><a href="http://s209.photobucket.com/albums/bb15/coinmarks/?action=view&current=1888-o1-1.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s209.photobucket.com/albums/bb15/coinmarks/?action=view&current=1888-o1-1.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb15/coinmarks/th_1888-o1-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p>Compare the 1888 above with the coins in the two links.
