Indian Cent Die Varieties, 1859-1909
Welcome
to my
online resource for Indian Cent die varieties. Content
is available for anyone interested in this series and is designed to be
an updated reference committed to the study and propagation
of the
series.
This site is an ongoing project that will take time to
complete,
so please be patient and check back often as well as refreshing each
page visited in order to receive any possible new updates.
Although this web book was designed for the Indian Cent series from 1859-1909, it would be quite remiss of me to omit the short lived Flying Eagle series from 1856-1858. Therefore, I have inlcuded a section for the Flying Eagle cents that may be accessed through the table of contents of this web book or from ths link: FLYING EAGLE CENT DIE VARIETIES, 1856-1858.

ANACS ATTRIBUTES WEB-BOOK LISTINGS

My customer and indian cent variety enthusiast, Craig McClain,
submitted
the illustrated 1863 and 1864 indian cents to ANACS. He
requested variety attribution by Poliquin number and enclosed the title
of this web-book and copies of the associated variety pages as a guide.
He asked me to share his outcome with the readers of this
web-book and suggested I actively pursue ANACS attributions for
web-book entries.
As a result of Craig's suggestion, the following will outline the pathway Craig undertook for those readers who would like to secure web-book attributions on their ANACS submissions:

Guidelines to ANACS Attribution of Web Book Varieties
The first web-book attributions were done by ANACS through the
submission of Craig McClain, who specifically requested attributions by
Poliquin number. I certainly agree that web-book attributions should be
attributed by ANACS since the web-book delves deeper into the Indian
Cent series than any other researchers have attempted. Beyond the scope
of repunched dates, misplaced digits and doubled dies, the web-book
explores die states, die rotations and emission sequences of die
pairings. The web-book was designed specifically for the astute
collector or specialist of the Indian Cent series to have a
'Definitive' resource available and ANACS is the perfect choice for
web-book attributions. ANACS grading is consistently accurate, and
their fees are quite competitive, especially when they offer grading
specials.
The pathway that Craig McClain employed was to submit a note within the submission package requesting web-book attributions. Craig identified the specific variety for the ANACS graders and proceeded to explain how to navigate the site to the specific varieties that he wanted attributed. Craig later indicated to me that perhaps printing a copy of the variety page and including it with the submission sheet might simplify the ANACS grader’s research effort. This would save the additional $5.00 cost of the Variety Attribution Research fee.
Since Craig suggested I pursue ANACS attributions for web-book varieites, I will personally request that ANACS attribute web-book varieties automatically and without the need for additional information in regards to the web-book within the submission.

1909 VDB Lincoln Cent with Reverse Rust
Jason Huffman has discovered a 1909 VDB Lincoln Cent with localized die
rust on the reverse, which may be located here.
Although it
is not an Indian Cent, I have decided to publish Jason's discovery on
the Home Page of the Web Book because I believe it is an important
discovery within the Lincoln Cent Series and is not presently published
elsewhere.
