What? A silver plated Indian head cent? All you have to do is dip one in Jewel Luster after dipping a few silver Washingtons and whala!

 

Uh-oh...

 

Please send me that coin Michael so that I can properly curate it.

in person sight seen

 

this proof copper nickel indian cent has super crisp clean clear deep watery mirrors and has super contrast between the devices and fields almost if not a deep cameo

 

the color is a off silvery with a tannish hue and is as close as you will get to the way the coin looked when it first came off the dies

 

it is the finest proof copper nickel indian cent in terms of eye appeal and technical aspects i have ever seen

 

the photo barely does justice to the coin and as perfect as you can get for a proof cn indian cent

Nice strike and amazing luster. I'm inexperienced with IHCs, so why the odd color?

[michael]

the color is not odd but the scan does not completely show the true color of the coin but it gives you an idea!

 

originally when these proof cn indian head cents were struck these coins had an off silvery color with a light tannish hue since they never retain their original colors it is extremely rare to see a coin looking like it just came from the dies as this coin does

 

but again this coin needs to be seen in person sight seen to truly apprecaite this coins beauty and SPECIAL qualities

 

but the scan is all we gots on here unless you go to the place where this coin rests

 

somewhere on the east coast

Cool, Michael, looks like you're having fun. I like...

thanks victor

 

i like these forums better as they are much more positive and collector oriented rather than the other boards

 

which does not make the other boards bad or less good than these boards

but the other boards are one big $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ selling thing over there and that is great!!

 

but victor i must say in all fairness and honesty that st. bernard is much better overall than any coin i ever posted or will post on these boards!
