Finally got my 1877 Indian back from PCGS (for those who read about it)

Everybody at the coin shop laughed when I bought the coin, but I just can't afford expensive coins raising three kids. Well, I couldn't even SEE the date on the coin... but was "assured" that it was an 1877 Indian. Despite my dealers resistance to a submission, I did it anyway... just for fun. He is a very fair coin dealer with submission pricing - I'm assuming as long as one doesn't take advantage of him.

Anyway - here is what came back! I was so proud!! (I know it's nothing for the big timers, but I had a lot of fun with it)

why did they laugh?

 

Because the coin was a ugly duckling I guess... One guy even told me to put it in my shoe to "shine it up"

It was kinda left for dead in a sense, but now can be part of a nice collection!

 

hu, interesting.

 

Hey man, as long as you're happy, I'm happy for you!

I can't afford expensive coins raising one kid!

 

For the individual grader who handled it, you probably made his day....

 

What did you pay for it? Does anyone know if it's worth at least a couple hundred bucks now that it's in a PCGS holder?

 

$100
