Indian Head Cents

Beware of the thumbnails. Don't hurt yourself trying to guess the color - in my opinion some are right and some are wrong on the slab, but none are red. All are PCGS, NGC, and ANACs - all are in the 62 to 65 range, but I believe only one needs to be replaced. Which one do you think it is?

Have fun and all comments are welcome. As it the 08-S and the typically overgraded 09-S(my opinion) are not part of this - BUT a hint the 08-S is the same grade as the one I will probably upgrade. Now to post second set of images. For some reason it limits me to 18(if I counted right).

First set of images:

Yeah - but pick the one I think needs to be replaced. It should be easy - at least I see what is the problem.

Oh - and the hole in the run will be filled with a coin from the penny lady this week. Along with one of two holes in the 80's.

 

Is it the 1908...the one that looks like she is wearing ski mask and ready to rob a bank

Beautiful Indian Heads. Thanks for sharing!!!

 

My guess is the 1892. It appears scuffed, but it could be the pic.

 

I like the 1907 and 1895
They are all beautiful!
And you are replacing the 1908 S...???

 

Yep - you nailed. The finger print and the mint luster just make it looked scuffed. It looks better in person, but not much. I never really noticed it until I got bored tonight and decided to takes some pictures. With them all sitting next to each other it really looked out of place. Will try the 1880's next time I get bored.

 

May I ask what the grade is of the 1892, and the grading company?

 

Once again these are amazing coins!
Makes my G-F indian head cent set look terrible! LOL
I still got like 30 pennies to go with that set... OH BOY

 

I don't think so, the 09-S will probably be replaced someday in the distant future - just not soon. The 92 is the one I might actively look to replace first. I am really down to 3 dates for me to call this collection complete - 1889(AU coin), 1870(have it just low grade and raw) - and maybe the 1886 type II coin. The 1894 and 1885 are on the way.

Thanks for the comments!

 

No problem - it is a MS-62 graded bg ANACs

I also have a dansco album and a whitman album going. The original concept was as I purchased one for the high grade set, the raw coin or slabbed coin would go into the dansco album. Any coin there would then move to the whitman album. I have no clue how many coins I need for those two sets - I know I need at least the big two major keys. Don't get confused I like them in any grade. I will work on those next, but have to finish this first.

 

I would take anyone of them in a heartbeat!!

 

Love that second-to last 1909, i can't say that i've ever come across a better looking IHC than that.

 

Very nice set Mark, very beautiful coins - and I didn't place you as the same Mark who just bought those two coins from me! Thank you - and they should fit nicely in with the rest of these beauties.

 

Thanks for all the comments and I can't wait to get the two new ones.

 

Oh you can bet, that we can't wait to see, when you get the new ones! :thumb:
