Fatty IHP ?

[Ed_DE]

I found two IHP's today. One is a 1902. The other is pretty toasted. I can tell it's a IHP but I can't get a date. I noticed it's thicker than all my other IHP's I have.It has the same thickness a flying eagles penny I found.
I also found two horse shoes & a horse Bridal rosette.

I order a digital coin scale last night. When I get the scale I'll weigh the IHP. A fatty cent weigh is 4.67 grams. While a regular IHP weigh is 3.11 grams.
Fatty IHP where produced between 1860 to 1864.

Two very nice finds. I love the patina on the 1902 IHP. In my experience, "fatty" IHP's tend to have a lower VDI due to their composition. side from the coins weight/ thickness, that is another way to gauge if your coin is a Fatty.

Thanks Silvermonkey,
Just gave it swing on my Deus 2 and the VDI is reading 77.
On a regular IHP it reads 85.

Very nice finds !

It's possible you might be able to read the date on the Indian by using Andre Pencils.
