Here's how my Indian Head Cent collection looks these days

[James_OldeTowne]

These are just quick scans, but I wanted to share. I'm in a continual process of upgrading these coins, and recently won the 1888 in an eBay auction (haven't recevied it yet). Strangely, I just can't seem to find an 1864 CN that I really like! I hope to get the two big coins, 1877 and 1909-S this year, but the 1856 slot is destined to remain unfilled for a while.... but yes, I will be putting an XF+ or AU in that hole some day.

 

Because it's a scan and not a digital photo, some of the coins look like they have weird colors, but such is not the case. All of these coins are nice originals.

 

Enjoy!

Very nice! Those flying eagles just stand out to me. I like them.

Very nice! I always enjoy the FE/IHC series with its beautiful designs. Lots of nice varieties to boot!

That's a great looking set. I see some serious die rotation on that 1864 too.

 

I started a set of these years ago in XF-AU. I got most of the easy ones and now it's been setting for about five years unattended. I completed the Lincolns about three years ago so maybe I should work on these some more. Either that or just sell them off and be done with it. Tough decision.

Great set......I love it.......now that's a set for collectors as opposed to a plastic wharehouse!!!!!

[James_OldeTowne]

Thanks for the comments, everyone. None of these grades below XF, and only a couple are UNC; I've tried to maintain a carefully narrowed grade range of EF-45 through AU-58. No more than a handful of these coins were cracked out of slabs - by and large, I have enjoyed the challenge of searching for these coins raw. Kryptonite used a great term, "slab warehouse" If these coins were slabbed, I'd have to carry the collection around in a backpack!

 

Randy, I'd be interested in purchasing your set. Better yet, I'd be interested in seeing you get back to work on it!

Relook at the pics... at first I too thought it was the 1871... but it is 1964... very nice set... my set is coming along... but I got alot of wholes... I am going for VF+ coins... with the lone exception being by 1877.. which is G4 for now...plus a few others I had when I started the set which will be upgraded...
