    I got another IHC for my set today; only 4 left to go.
    Anyway, it had a small round B&W sticker on it with the head of an eagle and the words "Eagle Eye Photo Seal".
    I think (?) I've seen one before.
    What's it mean? Anyone know?

    Picture of the coin later.

    Just looked a Charmy's post.
    She had a couple with the same sticker.

    Ah ha!
    Thanks for the link.
    If I understood the site correctly it's basically Rick Snow's version of a "green bean".

    Works for me.

    I would have thought you to be on the inside track with that one Kanga, since I know that you do so much business with these fellows.......

    Rick Snow has been doing this well before CAC and there is a real market that follows Snow's work.

    Snow's considered an expert for this type so his sticker carries as much weight as the green bean.

    Actually I've never met him although I certainly know who he is.
    And I've got his IHC guide.
    In fact he didn't have a picture of one of the varieties he listed -- but he does now :)

    Anyway, I've never done business with him.
    All my IHC's have come from Angel Dee's (Andy and Alynne Skrabalak).

    all Eagle Eye Photo Seals come with a laminated picture of the coin in the holder, did you get that with the coin?

    Nope.
    Probably got separated when the coin changed hands.
    I believe I'm at least the third owner.

    Andy and Alynne are good people, too. I generally have dinner with them at least once at every show.

    I'd rather have the Eagle eye sticker on any cent than a green bean . As stated Rick Snow is the top dealer of IHCs . Just ask Charmy , and look at her thread . She has a few Eagle eye coins and you can see the quality .

    I had a quick chat with Charmy at the Balto Whitman show.
    I knew she had found an IHC die variety which Rick included in his guide.
    Turns out she has 3-4 more.

    I'd see it the other way round, the Green bean is CAC's version of Rick Snow's PhotoSeal since Rick's version came first by several years.
