Hey, nice group of finds. Love the badge :clapping: If there isn't any writing on it anywhere, try looking at state crests and see if that tree is one that is used by a state or town. You may be able to ID it that way. Sometimes orginizations use a specific symbol on their pieces (like Masons or Lions clubs, etc...) As far as the Indian is concerned. The reverse is what's called a rotated die and it's 180 degrees rotated. This happens when they put the dies in and the guy is not paying attention to orientation. lol He probably caught the mistake and corrected it later on. So in a way it is a mint error, just a minor one I would guess
The 7 is probably made from individual punches in the date. When the die is taken from a master hub (which may not have any date on it) the date will be punched in by hand and the 7 was just punched in a bit crooked. That particular die will produce those crooked 7's for it's life time. Not sure if the Indian series was done that way, but that's my guess. Someone who knows their Indians may want to chime in. There are 2 rarer 1907's listed in Breen's book. One is a triple 7 (faint extra two 7's slightly above the 7 you are looking at. The other is the 1907 Large date over small date, most noticable in the 9 having a smaller part of the 9 visible inside it. So there you have it, that's all I think I know lol Nice video on your hunt. thumbsup01
