Indian Head Treasure Trove

[FLauthor]

I was reading the topic of "Holy Grail of Indian Head pennies". ?I have a book of Indian Head pennies inherited from my Great Grandfather who was a New York bank president and he collected old coins. ?Sadly though I do not have a 1877 coin. ?But I do have a 1880,1883, 1886 and a 1888 that shine like new and may be classified as MS67. Attached are the coins that still retain the patina when they were struck. Thanks to the coin collecting hyperlink, if these coins prove to be in the MS67 category then I've had a treasure trove hiding in a drawer since I was a teenager. Those are just four of the best ones. I have several more that grade from fine to AU. Guess I need to find a good coin expert who can grade these coins and maybe find a new home for them.

Just hang on to them, Indian Heads are slowly going up in price. Being better grades they will be worth even more latter on. Coin collectors have moved from wheats to the indian heads series.
