Found a Nice Early Indian 1864 L

[NorILdigcollector]

I went out to my 1830s farm site for a couple hours after a good rain storm. It's been awhile since I have been out digging with the drought here. I tried going out a couple days ago but the ground was so hard I could barely get my shovel in the ground. The 1864 IHC is the best one I've found with the exception of the 1867 I found a couple years ago. I also found another fancy flat button which puts my total flat button count for the site at 26.

Great looking IH, well done.
Moisture really is the winning combination when it comes to getting any depth.

Damn, that IHP looks like it was dropped yesterday. Sweet score!

the neck line doesn't appear to nearly touch the date, so it is apparently an 1864-L.

There's a comparison on the 2nd photo on this page https://www.usstatequarters.com/1864-L-Indian-Head-Penny-p/1864lindian.htm

I was trying to figure out if it was but wasn't sure. Thanks for the info.
