Is it me or are the pictures to dark? But, hey they are IHC's so I already like them. And I can see several letters(all thought I strained my eyes) of liberty so they are upgrades. Keep it up.
I think you mean 1874. And, yes the obverse is streaky. According to Rick Snow's Guide Book of Flying Eagle and Indian Head Cents, he states: "The planchets tend to be rather streaky, due to a variable alloy mix. " The coin is in nice condition with all 4 diamonds on the ribbon visible under some magnification. I kind of like the streaky effect. It gives it some pizazz.:kewl: Bruce
