For all you copper experts..... what grade and value would you pin on this IHC? I somewhat unexpectedly became it's new owner and it's going in my IS U.S. type set. Really liked the color on this one. I have a rough idea. Just curious what others thought. It won't make or break anything so guess away!
Are those scratches above the 1st 2 feathers and below the date? I'm not sure if its the pic, or I'm seeing a touch of rub on the obverse...
Very nice IHC Vess1. The color is amazing and the detail is sweet. MS65 or better is my guess. Gratz on owning this coin.
MS64RB Has a few flyspecks and doesn't seem to have the booming luster that is necessary for a higher grade. Nice coin!!! perfect for a great type set!!
Thanks for all the replies. Actually don't have it yet so I can't answer any of your questions. Just wanted some opinions to see if I was in the ball park. I had guessed it might be 63, maybe a 64 if lucky. If it has any glaring problems, I might send it back. I think the scratches are on the holder.
Most Indian head cents come with the headress feathers smooth at the end . Vess missed your post , glad she's a real looker . rzage
