1906 Indian Head Edge ERROR ? grade MS65?

Here are few photos of what I've found lately.

A Mint State condition,orginal luster, a 1906 indian head one cent.
Also beautifully toned on the obverse? or is it a metal mixture that made the coin different colours.


Is it common of such edge error,have you seen an error like this before?
The edge part is broke or is it a die error? (ABOVE the ST of STATES)


What grade will you give for this coin? it looks like a proof coin,are there any 1906 one cent proof strikes?

What do you think about the ERROR? is it a real Error? such things are considered as varieties or errors?


Here are the photos you judge:

Looks like a retained lamination peel. As for the other questions, there are those here with more knowledge of IH's who can help you with that. Nice looking coin.

 

But still a very Nice coin!

I agree!!!
but MS-65 is a little high IMO MS-63-64.Proof Indian head cent have squared rim& your is rounded.or looks that way from your photo's

 

What they said...

 

Geez I don't even notice anything about the coin expect that black ring.

 

i agree, retained lamination - interesting but some people consider it defective planchet, and thus less desirable than a non-defective planchet. But as Zach first noted, what's with that black ring? looks like something set on it awhile, and caused some tarnishing (err, toning).

 

The black ring looks like a stain.

 

I was just wondering an MS65 because of the Lamination detail.Mine is rounded,true.

@ Coop I don't think it's a stain,I think it's a tonning.

Anyway,is my coin a RD or RB?

What should be the estimate value of this coin,does the lamination brings any premium value??

If it's an MS 63-64 as Jello graded.so it should be worth around 100 to 150 $?

 

I am no expert.


HAGOP
A graded Indian Head cent,can sell for More Or less than it graded price.
A date that is common or key and Die variety thing like that can improve the selling price.

But a raw coin will sell much lower than one graded by a TPG Anacs.Icg,Ngc and Pcgs. no one know if the coin has been doctored or just the way it left the mint
this may help?

There isn't anything mint state about it. It looks like AU details to me... the tops of the feathers have wear. The stain/toning is very distracting.

 

to answer your question, no, the minor error you have shouldn't add any value to it. But more broadly, the 'toning' is clearly from something that was sitting on the coin for a long time. Some say toning, some say tarnish - i don't believe it would come back problem free.

 

I see wear and on top of that MS63-64 RB would probably bring around $40-$60.
