    Wondering what everyone thinks of this 1883 IHC. I'm thinking MS but maybe on the lower side. The obverse toning is really attractive though. I planning on sending it in for grading with a couple other coins. Appreciate your thoughts.

    Environmental damage is what I see. NOT MS, and also looks to be cleaned. I personally would not send this coin in.

    Not trying to be mean, just pointing out what I see.

    For instance, this area. See that color green? I think its more than just toning.

    Agreed with above but I really love that nice display of rim cuds upper obverse.

    I agree that it has been cleaned and has envronmental damage. Otherwise it would be an AU coin.

    The surface on that reverse is dead as a doornail. There's wear on it and it's been cleaned for sure.

    Got it, what do you think the green color is though? I don't think its PVC damage, it looked like regular toning to me.

    Yeah the reverse on this coin is definitely not as impressive as the obverse.

    This is what @potty dollar 1878 is referring to. How some parts of the rim are raised.

    The surface is cleaned, I'm saying. It's dead, flat. That's how they look when they're cleaned. FWIW, I like the obverse, too. This one just won't get in better homes than we're in, it's cleaned and environmentally-damaged.
