[QUOTE="rhoggman, post: 395261, member: 13987"]I am going to send this coin in to get graded. Want to know what you all feel the grade will be in the end. There are a couple of things that concern me with this coin, but mostly the first three feathers which appear to be worn. I did a little research on the year which is known for weak strikes which was true with the proofs as well. I even found a couple of PCGS PR IHC pictures for 1891, and confirmed this is normal. Other than that the red, purple and green you see in the reverse is actually toning which is also common with the proofs due to the mint packaging (tissue paper). There is no corrosion or oxidation on this coin even know the picture looks like that may be the case. I think the scanner just reflects the light in a strange manner. There are some "blotches" on the obverse. I am guessing this is toning as well.[/QUOTE]
