Some Indian head cents

I have these 2 Indians and wanted your opinions on hat they're worth and what the grade would be. Also let me know if you can find anything wrong with them.

1872


last one isn't head on but shows the details a bit better.

1908S




Thanks for any info. I'll let you know what I payed and graded them as later.

1908-S would have collector value if genuine.

 

imo, 1872 is g4. 1908-s is ?? what's going on with the mintmark?

 

08 s has been cleaned

 

Thanks.

Sorry about that. I didn't notice it before uploading. It must just be something in the picture because its not on the coin itself.
I can't get a decent closeup of the mint mark but here's a new shot of it.

Or does something still look wrong?

What makes you think that?
Not saying it couldn't be the case. I'm just wondering what I'm missing? I'm still learning.


And any ideas on what they're worth?

 

I am not an expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I would venture to say the 1872 could be worth $60-$120 and the 1908-s $60-$90.
I am greg, and I approve this message.

 

Are those cleaning scratches on the observe of the 1908S??
I'm guessing you paid $90 or less for the 08S
and $100 or less for the 72

 

it was the pic. i agree that it looks to have been cleaned at some point.

 

some things that give indications to me of a cleaning are circled

 

Thanks for the info and sorry for not getting back right away.

swish I take it your pointing out the dirt in the crevices at those points? I assumed it just built up in those areas during circulation.


I paid $150 for the too of them together. going buy your estimates I think I did ok.
I guessed the grade for the 72 to be good and the 08S fine but with some marks.

 

you did good, imo. the 1872 is a tough date to get in any grade. :thumb::thumb:

 

Yes - for 150 for the 2 you did just fine. And if your curious the 1872 is the bold N - now try to find a weak N. Nice additions.
