    No Indian Head Cent love?

    My guesses, 1885 MS64 or 65

    1906 MS63 or 64 depending if the mark on the cheek takes it down.

    Anyone else want to give any opinions?

    Worth Sending in to get slabbed?

    On the 1885 Indian, what jumps out to me is the lack of four diamonds. It says possible wear or weak strike. Either one would take away some points on the grade. More so if wear is the problem.

    Oh my, those are both AT! Absolutely Terrific! I'm with you on those grades although I'm in the same place as Sam on that diamond compliment on that 1885. Tell you how you resolve that, look at them on Heritage. I can't on this particular computer, as the connect-speed is too slow. In summation, those are lovely coins, very well done!

    Well the other MS ones I viewed on eBay had very weak diamonds in the middle. Not sure if its wear as the necklace looks flawless. That's what makes me think its still a MS coin. I'm no expert though.

    Nice looking cents , but the pics aren't clear enough for me to say a grade . They do have nice luster and color but they might be AU-58s or MS-64s . Most '85s come sharply struck but that doesn't mean the lack of 4 diamonds are from wear , it's most likely a coin struck with old dies .
