1904 Indian Head Cent

Thoughts on toning and grade? To me, the toning seems fine, it's graded MS64BN by PCGS, which seems about right.

except for the spot between the N and the E on the reverse a really nice coin.

 

When was this slabbed? It has the MS-70'd look that will bodybag nowadays. These were very popular a few years ago.

And that spot throws it off for me.

 

@physics-fan3.14 , I thought MS70 turns coins blue? Also, I'm pretty sure the slab is pre-2005, it has no holographic sticker on the back.

 

Can't be slabbed pre-2005 (Or if it was it was reholdered later) You can't see the slab but you can see that it is in a PCGS prongs type holder and they weren't used for non-small size dollars until around 2011 or later.

If it actually has no hologram on the back something is off. The holograms began back in 1989, 18 years before they started using those prongs.

Picture of the coin inside the slab. My bad about the whole pres-2005 thing, I was going based on sampleslabs.com.

 

Love the color. Not the price for the color

 

@Vegas Vic
Do you think the price is too high?

 

For the color yes.

Bought this on eBay for $524

Nice coin and a not nice price.

 

Thanks for the picture of the coin in the slab. That is the most recent PCGS slab. Only been in use for a year or less.

 

@Conder101
Thank you. Since this coin is in a recent PCGS slab, it hasn't been MS70'd, correct?

 

Or it has been but they approved it anyway. It happens.
