Sorry I haven't been posting anything lately, but I Have been pretty much just working and staying the house.
Last Sunday I got out for first time in about two months. I dug a nice 1888 Indian. Man that felt good.

I hope everyone out there is staying safe and healthy!!
Take care, Don

Holy cow, Don...that's one unreal Indian. :drool:
Why do you think there is one tiny worn spot on both the obverse (4:30) and reverse (1:30)? What would cause that? That has the best of both worlds, wonderful detail and the patina of being buried 130 years.

I really don't know. it's strange that the C & A are almost worn off, but the rim is fine.

Beautiful Indian Head, Don! That is an early drop, very little wear and nice green patina!

I would guess that the missing letters are due a mint error instead of wear, possibly a "filled die error".

Congrats on the wonderful find! :clapping:
