    Hello folks. I realize that its a very common one but I couldn't pass it up. In hand it is a beautiful burnt orange color with a lot of luster. I couldn't believe the price I got it for. How much did I pay?

    I said $10.00
    What are the "stains" on it? Is it toning that the light/camera is not capturing?

    Yep its toning. Different shades of orange and brown. I cannot capture the luster in natural light or with a lamp. There really isn't any trace of wear. There is a small light spot on the face near the ear but I think that's part of the toning it doesn't look like wear to me. The coin looks much better in hand though I think this is one of my better pictures.

    It would be better if you could get some accurate pictures showing the color and the details. It looks AU to me.

    I can't do much better due to the limitations of my camera. In hand it is brighter and has a lot of luster..I love the mix between shiny orange and the darker areas. It has 4 diamonds, and the reverse is nice too. I'm thinking AU58.

    Oh, and it was $7. Not too bad methinks!

    AU55. Too much rub for AU58.

    Taking it out of the 2x2 makes it a lot easier to photograph, btw.

    Gorgeous wood graining in mint state! My guess of the price you paid is $22.50. If that is correct, you got a great deal. Congratulations.

    ANOTHER user with a 1907!!! This is crazy! 3 users I know of on here in the past few weeks have just gotten a 1907 Indian, including me which was an MS-64 RB PCGS slabbed. Sorry to be off topic, but its crazy. But for $7, that's not a bad purchase. Looks like AU-50 to me from the picture.
