Found this just off the old Main Street at my abandoned town site where there was a community from 1800-1940. . I know people find these all the time but I was pretty excited. I see they come in a bold N and shallow N varieties. Can someone chime and tell me which mine is. I looked up pics of both but couldn?t really come to a conclusion. After seeing a few my friend dug in Maine. I think mine is in pretty decent condition. Well compared to the ones he has dug it?s in amazing condition.. lol

The first of many, I'm sure. Incredible condition for a dug coin. Congratulations and thanks for posting.

That's a fantastic Indian Head Cent! Low mintage year (but you know that already, I'm sure).
It looks like the Bold N version to me.

Congratulations to you!

Wow, i usually don't get excited about pennies, but that one looks like it came out of a new roll from the bank and got lost right away!

Congrats on your first Indian. That coin is a blazer. They just don't come out of the ground like that very often.
