Guess the grade.....1872 Indian Head Cent

Guess the grade of this nice looking IHC. As a hint.....I completely disagree with the grade on the holder.

Nearly mark free and well struck, but at least your pictures make it look lusterless. 63

 

AU details.

 

Another Hint: What kind of details?

 

Cleaning

 

MS-60 (or UNC detail, re-colored)

 

Its in an UNC details "Environmental Damage" slab.

Its a darker brown color, and the luster is not all there, but I still thought it would grade.

 

I could easily believe that coin had been cleaned, but I am sure missing that environmental damage.

 

Environmental damage? I think that this has to be a mis-label. I would have thought that cleaning or thumbing would have been the reason for a details grade.

 

I would say mis-labeled like Kirk pointed out unless there is some light granularity I'm missing.

 

ms-63bn

edit: whoops, just paged down so i wouldn't see other guesses and didn't see you had posted the slab already...

 

The env damage is confusing to me. I was hoping for an au58 when I sent it in.

 

I would have been a AU but the damage is more of a cleaning to me too.
Still a nice coin.

 

Great coin - whatever damage and all.

 

That coin is what I like to call "a potential bargain."

 

I agree on that.

 

It sure is. If you can get this coin for half the price of an MS BN coin, it is a bargain. I will be selling this one soon to get the last MS Indian Head Cent I need for my complete MS set (1861). Whoever gets this one should be pleased as they wont find a nicer one for the price.
