    Description

    1874 Indian Cent, Choice Almost Uncirculated.  Remaining luster being plainly evident, and some traces of original planchet color ("red").  Unfortunately, this had been saved randomly by a non-collector and stored in a less than ideal manner.  A couple of minor areas of discoloration and surface "crud", might be something someone could reduce or remove however I did not want to push anything around to avoid scratching the coin.  What makes this of interest is the obvious arrowhead shaped die chip found on Liberty's neck.  I found nothing in Snow's opus indicating this as a known variety or oddity, and it does not appear to have the shape of any portion of a date punch.  There are signs of light die polish lies around it, so Mint forces may have been aware of the problem and attempted to rework the die.  A rather unusual location for a die chip, unless something was struck into the die (?).  Certainly something that could entertain the specialist or the curious.  Or, certainly suitable as a mildly discounted example for a higher grade circulated set.  I am happy to combine shipping for multiple items.
