Ebay Purchase (Indian Head Pennies) Good deal?

[zach attack]

I recently purchased 10 Indian head pennies off of ebay for 10 dollars. The dates include 2 1864, 2 1873, 1875, 1882, 1894, and 2 1899. Do you think it was worth the price I paid? Also was wondering if the 1864's are L bust variety. Thanks.

Load up some pics!!! The 'L' is by the diamonds on the Indian...
And a buck a piece is a good deal for those earlier dates for sure...

And then there were pics....!!!! Haha...

Unfortunately it is a little hard to detect on those 64's... And take 10 bucks worth of gas and drive around trying to find 10 little indians with a detector... :-)
Not a bad pick up

Can you still tell if it is an L variety if it is worn?

 

[PaDirtDigger]

Its hard to... Maybe with a good 30x magnifier u could make out a ridge of the L...

No Problem

You would be able to see the L on the headdress, down toward the neck, if it was a L variety.

The corroded indian appears to be an L variety. I watched a YouTube video on how to tell on worn ones.you look at the bust, and if it is pointy, not round, then it is an l variety. Watched JD's Variety Channel on YouTube. Your thoughts.

While it is really hard to tell for sure on both of your' 1864 IHC's, they look to have the rounded bust and not the pointed bust! With much better closeup pics of the coins, we might be able to determine for sure.

$10.00 is a good price for those coins.
