dang nice find anyother nice IHC in the roll? were the other ones true UNC and how much was the Roll?

Another find that shows ebay not too bad

 

based of heritage and the grade ms-62? its around 300

 

Are you messing with us ? It sure looks like an 1858 - which if Im correct cant be - What is the date of the coin ?

 

i see 1853, but the pics are really hard ot make out.

 

I am really confused. It can't be a 1853 or 1858 and be an IHC. That is a matron head and a flying eagle respectively.

 

good catch - this shows that the cents started in 1859.

good catch lol

 

I think it must be a 1863 or 8 modified or error coin. I still see an 8 more than a 3. Do you think you can get a close up pic of the date?

 

I knew that 9 looked a little funny, LOL...

 

If it was a modified 63 or 68 then it would have a shield on the reverse. The shield was added to the reverse in 1860.

Thanks. I overlooked that just focusing on the front. So modified 59? New pics would be great.

 

I'm looking thru my US coin encyclopedia and it say that there where some 1858 Indian cents placed in circulation and some 1859 Indian cents with the shield also placed in circulation.

Im not 100% positive, but Ive always thought that they did make indian cents at the later part of 1858. When they were considering changing design from the flying eagle to the indian design. Could this be some sort of pattern???

 

Well if it is a 1858 it has to be the 1858 P1C Indian Cent, Judd-208, Pollock-259, R.1

Very cool !

 

Quick Google I found this

"The designer, James B. Longacre, had designed the first of the small cents and in 1858 designed a pattern Indian head cent using his daughter, Sarah, as the model with a feathered headdress. The reverse design featured a pair of oak leaf branches tied together with a bow."

 

You really pulled this out of a roll bought on Ebay????? WoW!!!!!
