    Hello All!

    I got this ungraded 1893 Indian Head Cent as part of a lot and I think it looks to be in such nice condition. However, being new to this hobby, I am terrible at grading.

    Anyone want to have fun taking guesses what grade it is?

    VG-08. Just a filler coin for the binder.

    Fellows are correct with a VG evaluation. When you study an Indian head cent, look for the word “Liberty” on her headband. The ability to see or not see that word is a pretty good indicator of the grade of your coin.

    VG details, polished.

    Do the four diamonds on the sash from her headband count or matter?

    Since LIBERTY is not visible at all, I thought this would be a G-4 (according to the Redbook)?

    There’s part of the letters there. That’s good enough fo VG. The headband is flat on G4 coins.
