Found this today in a park in Berks county, 2nd injun out of this park in exceptional shape. Also 1.44 in clad (not pictured) This would be about my 5th hunt with my new v3, and I must say that its a big park thats been hunted by alot of people for a long time. The only silver Ive seen Texjim found in one little hotspot, between the 2 of us we have found 3X more indians than wheats here. Jim is using an xlt with a program I had some input on, he smoked checked my V last time we went hunting, guess today was my turn, that injun got ALOT of detail  Grin



This one was an eyeball find in a farm field while arrowhead hunting, I think it may be an "L" variety, it seems more pointy to me anyway??

Nice IH's you got there!!!!  Can't wait to find one of those....

Just curious, do you know how old the park is that you found that in?

And was it always a park?

I know the park is not on the 1860 atlas but its in the areial photos from the 1930's. It may have been a public place early on just outside of town, the town itself dates to 1755, became a borough in 1783 and a city in 1847.

It certainly looks like you have the scarcer 1864-L variety. As you mentioned, the bust does have the tell-tale point to it which makes this variety pretty easy to identify even when the designer's initial has been worn off.

Plus, you've got the added benefit of comparing two 64's side by side.  Smiley Lucky you!

Also, don't forget to check the weight on the one you just found since they changed to bronze during the production year.
The original copper-nickel variety weighed 4.67 grams and the new bronze only weighs 3.11 grams. The early one is worth at least 50% more.

Congrats!
