    I voted 6 because it has surfaces that do not look like they have been messed with. Hopefully the reverse matches.
    You will enjoy an original surfaces coin much more than a details coin.

    I am leaning towards #6 as well. I have a slight concern that the photo has been digitally "smoothed" and will be curious if the actual coin looks as nice if I do decide to get it. I also did post a shot of the reverses.

    Huh, I had missed them. I still like 6.

    Alright! Number 6 it is. Here she is in her new home. Maybe not quite as smooth as the pics led me to believe, but I’m pretty happy with it! Thoughts?

    I like that the hit above the ear blends in with the hair. If it was any lower than it is, I would have voted for a different coin.

    So you're saying the seller has a camera that shows her in a better light...who would have thought.:p
    She looks as good and most indians I have.

    Or a good filter! I have received a lot of coins that look a ton better in person than their pictures. I'd say this one was about what I expected, maybe a smidge worse. On the whole, I think I'm ahead! (Well, I'm now an Indian Head ahead.)

    I bought a lot of 80ish indians off eBay, the seller was a pawn shop...they had some crappy pictures so I put a bid in at a nickel a piece to put it on the watch list.
    No one else bid and I got the lot super cheap.
    Not expecting much but the price was right.
    The seller contacted me and wanted to cancel the order because the lot didn't bring enough money...I said Nope, send me my coins.
    He tried again through eBay claiming an error in the listing...I called BS and told eBay I wanted what I bid on.
    eBay agreed and the seller sent me SOME indians...I say SOME because I know I didn't get them all, maybe half...I contacted the seller and complained about only getting about half of the indians. But I figured the ones I got looked really good even at $0.10 each.
    I left the seller a neutral ( eBay wouldn't let me leave a negative) and a comment about the seller not sending all the coins in the listing and what I thought about that.
    I don't know what I didn't get but the 40ish I did get was worth $50+ for $8 shipped.
