Nabbed one of the rarer Indians!

[JeffInMass]

Put the Ultimate coil on my Explorer SE Pro and headed back to a park in a neighboring town that dates back to the 1700's- had some previous success there finding an 1829 Half dime, 1877-CC Seated Quarter, and 1816 LC, among others. Going along I hadn't found a single coin, but pulled out some nice old buttons/relics, then I hit 3 straight Indians- all were safely 9 to 11 inches down. The sandy soil here on the Cape preserves the copper coins very well, so I could see the dates were 1863 C/N, 1864 and 1892. I thought I may be seeing the L on the 1864 Indian, but couldn't be sure until I cleaned it- but there it is, sure as heck. Very stoked about this one as I had never found- that leaves just the 2 "S" mints and the 1877 to complete this series- think I'll re-hit that park with this coil and see what else may be hiding!

Hope you enjoy the pics and be safe friends!

Congrats on the Longacre indian. That's a tough one to check off the list.

I would be stoked too...I know the 1877 is a rare one because of the low mintage....now I need to look up the 1864 L...great recoveries!

Wow, nice job Jeff!! I gotta check mine, I’ve pulled out 2-‘64’s recently

Nice condition on that 1864, congrats Jeff. Its amazing that you're within 3 coins of collecting the entire Indian Head series. Its a terrific accomplishment, one that has been no doubt achieved over many years. I can't recall anyone else on this forum with that level of success with the Indians, though I may recall someone finishing out the Mercury dime series. Good luck in your quest for the two "s" mint marks and the 1877. If anyone can do it, you're the one!
