Not bad, XF40/45. You paid full retail but a good looking Indian.

 

is that all? grade wise.
look closely below the chin and the word liberty let me no if anything

 

i will post more photos once i have the coin i have always made this mistake of thinking it has a DDO....thaughts

 

wow that's a nice coin . still has some luster

 

Nice! I think you got a good price on that, I'd say AU details for the grade, I've seen them in similar condition listed online for $10-$25 so I think you paid fairly for it.

 

The first to show wear on these is the lower hair curl above the date. hair above the ear, liberty, and the second feather. These all show flattening, also the luster, there really isn't any except next to the devices. Solid coin for an XF price.

 

we will no better once i have the coin. i will post them . the colour looks original to me, but that's just looking at photos. will keep you posted thanks . much better on the grading

 

yeah its a cool coin

 

I have always graded a bit on the conservative side. You could be right. When @Rafique posts his photos and there is more apparent luster I wouldn't hesitate going to an AU grade.

 

i knew it was a bit high on the price but in South Africa to get a coin like this , is rare

 

im just thrilled with the coin and having a conversation on this forum , with all you guys that no so much more. I'm happy that I'm learning more from all of you'll! @ ALL

 

im gonna be posting a large one cent, i bought it as it looked like an error. have a look
