<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 24149917, member: 101855&quot;]The 1877 Indian Cent was my dream coin in high school. I finally got one. It had Fine sharpness for the time, but there was a very small green spot on the reverse. Today the sharpness grade would be Choice VF. I don’t know what the minor spot would have done to the slab grade. The coin went with the set when I sold it circa 1973.</p><p><br /></p><p>I had a couple of other ones when I was a dealer. One was in a nice accumulation of Indian Cents I bought raw. Unfortunately I had been lightly cleaning. In those days, cleaned coins came back in “body bags” so I had to send it to ANACS to go into an old “bar soap” holder.</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought the second one raw from a collector. It was very nice, but it wasn’t AU-58 nice, which was what NGC graded it. Old time grading called it EF-45 because it had no luster.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
