5 May 2026: 1908 Indian Head Cent

 



My first coin that I purchased from eBay was 1908 Indian Head Cent. This came from a coin shop that is local but also had an eBay store for which I was super happy it existed.

I had selected this coin because I had never seen an Indian Head cent before, much less owned one for the collection. 

Once I get to know the eBay seller/shop owner a little better, I will ask if I can get their permission to promote their store here. Perhaps maybe get them a little more business. 

But this 1908 Indian Head Cent was something that I purchased based on the fact that I had never had one before, plus the age of it. This coin is more than a hundred years old, and it was going to be very curious for me to see what a coin of that age would look like. When I received it, I was absolutely satisfied with it. I showed it off to the neighbors for about three days straight and did some talking about it (and future purchases) on social media. And the feedback was mixed. Mainly because I had inadvertently discussed this personally with people with little to no interest in either collecting or coins and money in general. 

My next purchase and next addition to the collection would also come from the same seller.
