[QUOTE="foundinrolls, post: 80224, member: 4350"]Hi All, To start with, there are 2 varieties of 1860 IHC. Yours is the "Rounded Bust" variety. A little later in the run of 1860 dated pieces, the obverse was changed to a bust that came to more of a rounded end. Earlier examples have a more pointed bust ala 1859 pieces. The Type you have is the more common of the two. It's hard to grade it without it being in hand but I think that it is at least MS60 which is uncirculated. What looks like wear appears to be , in the scan, weakness of strike. The luster is nice. It could make MS62. Just my humble opinion but I am very conservative in grading. It looks very good to me though! Could be a $200.00 coin, as a retail price. The clashed die (I can see it in the picture) would not add or take away from the value of this coin.
