Of course 1869/69 Indian cents get a premium, usually double of the non-overdate. But I didn't say you wouldn't get ANY premium for this...
Nope!
What a nice looking young man!
Very nice AU Flyer - as you said, they are hard to come by as well struck as you have, especially those darn tail feathers. And AU is such a...
OMG I knew that! - I don't know why I typed Paul Newman - guess I'm tired and should be paying better attention to my typing! And I think it's...
I think MS63 RB, mostly due to the marks near the bottom left field and across the curls. But it really has pretty color and the TPG's are pretty...
Very nice coins in deed, a pleasure to look at! I think MS64+ BN on the first one - I believe the gorgeous luster and lack of marks helps it to...
Well, RLM, any guy who has the wonderfully handsome and amazing Paul Newman as his avatar is pretty darn ok in my book. And 40 years with one...
ok, now I NEED to use all THREE of those cute little blushing guys! Thanks, Jack, it's guys like you that make the business of coins waaaay more...
very, very cute! all three are perfect, but I especially like the first little guy! Thanks!!!
<blushing> (can't find one of those cute little round yellow guys that reflect blushing!). Exact ditto big time as to Jack!

As some of you have seen from the coins I've posted here and the ones on my website, I LOVE toned coins and most of my personal collection, both...
I posted this coin previously, but this is the last coin left from the collection my aunt gave me that got me started in coins. It was so pretty...
Let me add another thought, that even if this is an 1869/69, if you were to sell it, you would not get as much of a premium for the overdate...
It's an S-3 1869/69 though the overdate is obscured due to the bold woodgrain toning. Here are a couple of my S-3's in high grade for comparison...
possibly a fake, too hard to tell because of all the issues around the date - definitely not one to waste money on.
I would grade the coin MS64+ BN - it is very clean with no marks, even toning, and a decent strike. I can't tell for sure from the photos but the...
I must not have put 2 and 2 together that you are RLM on CoinTalk! Look forward to meeting again, then!
Thank you, would love to meet you formally at the next show. I think you probably made a good choice since both coins seemed pretty close...
