<p>[QUOTE="Sealouse, post: 839044, member: 24144"]Hello, I am brand new to this forum ! I recently dug this 1888 Indian Head out of the ground with my Metal detector. I find a lot of Indians, but never one that has generated as much disscussion and contraversay on the metal detecting forum I posted it on as this one has. A lot of people are Insisting it is an 8/7 over date. I have already took it to my local coin dealer and he said it did not have the subtle tell tale marks of the 8/7 over date and after he showed me in the books I agreed with him. He said it was a very odd coin though. It is strangely out of round and it is very worn ! He could not explain why the detail was almost completly worn in some areas of the coin but not in others.He said perhaps a double strike, or a miss strike , or just a damaged coin ??? What do you think ??? Sealouse[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
