  2. (abbreviation, alt-of, countable, initialism) Initialism of Indian Head cent.
    • I have an 1872 Indian Head Cent that appears to have either doubling in the lettering of AMERICA and several letters of UNITED STATES, or maybe it's been repunched. The coin grades a VG+, and although I have other IHC in my collection, most are G to Fair, so they don't have enough detail showing in the lettering. 2007 November 4, S. Miller, “IHC Doubling Question”, in rec.collecting.coins (Usenet), retrieved 03 Jan 2023:
  3. (countable, uncountable) International Harvester Company, a former machinery-building company and the tractor brand named for it.
  4. (countable, uncountable) Homoglyphic approximation of monogram ΙΗϹ or ΙΗΣ (IĒS) from ΙΗϹΟYϹ (IĒSOYS), the Greek form of Jesus.
