<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 2840821, member: 66&quot;]In I believe 1870 they made a change to the reverse hub of the Indian head cent the earlier hub is known as the &quot;Shallow N&quot; because the bottom of the N in ONE was shallow and tends to fade out&nbsp; on the coins.&nbsp; The new hub had the N cut more deeply and it creates sharp well defined N&#039;s in ONE and CENT.&nbsp; They also changed the serifs as well.&nbsp; Note in the image the shorter serifs on the Bold N coin and the greatly increased distance between the top of the N and the E in ONE.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.usacoinbook.com/us-coins/shallow-n-vs-bold-n-indian-head-cent.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The use of the shallow N and Bold N overlapped through 1872.&nbsp; After that I believe they are all bold N with the exception of 1877 which I believe are all shallow N on the business strikes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
