Grade on this 1863 Bronze Indian Head Cent???

This is a pattern cent - 1863 Bronze Indian Head Cent. It is a proof coin.

After 10 guesses, I'll tell you what PCGS said.

In addition to the # grade, don't forget to include the color (Brown, Red/Brown, Red) since it is bronze.

thanks!

It's hard to grade through a scratched slab. Thoughts...

1. Red/Brown
2. Dull fields (for a proof...cleaned?)
3. Nice strike
4. Possible slight album rub

I'm guessing PF64RB...but I really don't know.

Nice coin...I would love to own it!

 

Impossible to grade proofs through images, minute hairlines are everything. I will take an educated guess at PR-63 RB.

 

Is this the medal alignment J-299?

 

Guesses first...questions second! We gotta get to ten (10) before my bedtime! :smurfy:

 

Yeah, heaven forbid we mess with the man's bedtime! j/k My guess is a PR62. :thumb:

 

Interesting - my guess is PR64RB.

 

63rb

 

64 red

 

6 guesses - but hey, i just started a movie.

So, yes, this is J-299.

 

Getting pretty late for us East-coasters (pm me?) :secret:

 

64 red brown

 

pr 61

 

Ripley - color?

 

fretboard: color?

 

Very nice, I don't have that one yet. I have the J-212, J-213 and the J-302. I would love to get my hands on one of the aluminum J-304s. I've been fairly actively looking for the J-299 for a while now. Where did you find it?

 

They said Genuine Quest Color AU Details man they are tuff on copper. just a guess a very nice coin i'll put that in my collecton any day. or PR-61 RB.

 

I'm gonna say PR 65 RB

 

That is 10 guesses.

PCGS PR62-Brown. Old green holder. I agree you cant see hairline marks thru a holder, especially with my pics, but it's got to make RB. Worth resubmitting?

 

Well, I averaged all 10 guesses out and it came up to be a little higher that a PR 63 RB. That is assuming that any of us how a clue of what we were talking about.
