This just arrived from a dealer who specializes in Flying Eagle and Indian Head cents. He thinks it was cleaned, as he listed it as 1881 1C Indian...
I am more than happy for an excuse to show my small year set of SLQs. [ATTACH]
[ATTACH] Sure it’s AT, but when you get a set of 25 proofs from 1968 onwards for $0.11 each, it just makes it fun to have. Edit: I looked up the...

Thanks, everyone. I’m feelin’ purty good about this penny! For fun, here are screenshots taken of an MS66 BN at Heritage. It sold for $2880 last...
That’s OK, I only paid $10 for the 1916. But do we think these are only MS60? I tend to think they would grade out at least MS64, and they look...
Yep, I’m amazed that they took my Make Offer of only $81. That is just unfathomable. They should have had it graded and sold it for much more. I...
