Thank you, and I agree

 

Not saying that’s wrong but is there any advice on proving MD? I’ve compared it to a few pictures of the DDR of this year and it’s very similar, any advice is greatly appreciated as I know next to nothing how to tell MD from DDO/DDR and feel like I should learn the basics, thank you!

 

are we guessing . I didn't know . I say AU

 

Yes I can.

 

Longacre doubling. Very common in this series

 

By traditional standards best observed in hand:
Trace of original luster XF45.
Minimum 50% original luster AU50.

 

I don't care. I bought a beaut of an 1863 from @C-B-D quite a while back that looks this good. I defer to those who need to attach a grade to a coin. As for me I'd just be happy to have this one for my next set of IHCs.

 

XF-AU and cleaned at some point...nice looking.

 

Well conserved coin easy AU good luck

 

AU with trace of luster and doubling.

 

XF-45 for sure.

 

Since I've started collecting, my first interest was and is the IHC. I only lack the 1877. None of the IHC that I have in my collection is in the condition that the above IHC. Are there any signs of cleaning? If not, I would say an XF-50 at best.

 

I looked at it through a loupe and did not see hairlines that were visible but some people are saying it still may have been but I’m not expert and only know the basics to look. I sold a 77 it sat at about a G4 but still sold for a higher price then a lot of my other coins! It was pretty cool to have for a bit. It amazes me how just a date or mintmark can make something worth so much and I know low montage and all but it’s just pretty interesting!

 

I saw an 1877 on some website, maybe ebay, but they wanted almost $600 for it. It was in horrible shape and the date was barely visable.

 

Some people have lost their minds. It’s almost like the people that find a random die crack on their current Lincoln and list it as 2000$
