1882 Indian Head -- What a Shame.

[MentalUnrest]

Found this in the zinc pile tonight. What a shame someone would do that. Would have been my best cent find ever. The picture is poor as I took with my itouch but the details are great with a solid LIBERTY.

Looks like someone shot it with a small caliber bullet, maybe a .22 or a nail gun. Something stupid. Wish they would have left it alone and would've been a nicer find.

Nice shot

Probably shot by Annie Oakley.

It was punched with a nail... and it was probably done over 100 years ago when that coin wasn't anything special numismatically.. it would be tied on a string and sewn into clothing because people were so poor, they couldn't afford to even lose a cent. That would have bought just shy of pound of potatoes in 1900... enough lunch to live another day.
