Well, I now have a MS grade 1894. I was hoping for a high grade overdate, but that ship has sailed for now. I will keep that in mind....
Yes, I agree on the feather. I really wanted this coin, it had many interesting aspects. Unfortunately, the scratches on the reverse made that a...
Funny, starting out, I learned to grade AG, Good-fine grades. I was getting efficient in that zone. I was lousy at XF/AU and higher grades....
Hmm. I won't tell you what to do. I started with existing cents I had, then worked on completing a set. I parted from that for a bit, then...
Might want to get on e-bay or such and get a second hand copy of one of Rick Snows Flying Eagle and Indian Head Cents Guide books. (If you are...
Each Indian Head Cent, can vary dramatically in price. Years 66-78 are quite valuable even in G and VG grades. There are also snow variations to...
This might be a good place to get your bearings, if you are confident of the grade. That certainly takes a good bit of time to develop....

We need to be wary about posting a link to e-bay. Can get into hot water with the seller, if we are bashing his/her coin.
Yes, it is on ebay, but no, it isn't mine, nor did I purchase it. I was looking for opinions here. I thought it was severely overpriced.
Ah, bueno. That is music to my "eyes" if you can tolerate a mushy metaphor.
Got this on eye appeal. Would anyone be kind enough to venture on the grade? I am inclined understand its a proof. I haven't purchased one of...
I'm scratching my head, over getting a potentially good deal here. I'm looking for a downside argument. How does this coin grade to you? VF30-40...
Yup, all kinda busy, nothing to hang my hat on. Nothing earth shattering. Pretty solid AU range coin from what I gather from the on-line pic....
Something going on with the denticles, 4-7 to the right of the 7. Interesting
