Hey guys, I bought this reasonable coin on ebay. According to PCGS this year was hoarded and so its the ,,standart'' Indian. Nethertheless this specimen looks a little better than my other Indians (that are currently at NGC). What do you think about it? Is it usal that Denver coins (of this year) have weaker luster than Phili coins? Thank you very much in advance
Your coin has nice luster, and it looks like an AU-58 - the D mint mark looks like it shows wear, but it's tough to find wear anywhere else. How much did you pay for it?
Very attractive coin. I'm going to guess AU-58. It appears that there is some wear on his cheek and the eagle's shoulder. Your video seems to show the luster broken on these high points.
425 Euro including shipment from a private seller I am a little bit more enthusiastic than you. My other 5 Dollar Indians are currently at NGCs, but I think this maybe the best in my collection. Keep in mind: This is an incuse design. Field and Mintmark are the only real ''high points'' of this coin. The field has a realy nice luster and there are no larger scratches on it. My guess for that coin is MS 63/64, but Indians are very hard to grade. My NGC submission will show wether I am skilled at it or not
Kindly share photos of the slabbed coins when they come back. It is a great exercise to assess the grade of the coin and see how that compares to what comes back.
