1908 Indian Head Cent

I would like your opinion on the grade of this cent. Picked this up from the Melville show over the weekend.





Thank you.

Looks like an AU/MS slider. Personally, I'd grade it AU 58...Mike

 

AU - 53. There's just a bit too much wear on the hair and feathers on the obverse for me to say 55, and the high points of the wreath also have a bit of wear.

 

Nice coin - I would say AU58 from the pictures.

 

Wow! That is a beauty. I would go AU.

I would grade it 64 brown.

I was at the same show. Next time say hello. Oops, too bad we don't know each other, or do we?
I usually get there at 8 A.M. and I'm gone by 11 o'clock.
I picked up a couple of Barbers for my sets. And added another '13 S quarter to my collection, NGC G-6.
Also, so extra quarters for my hoard.
Good show this time.

 

WOW, I don't see any wear. MS-63.

Would have been nice to meet u, maybe next time.

Thanks everyone for your opinion. I was replacing an AU58 BN with this coin and this one has more details than the AU58.

 

It sure does have a lot of detail. Very nice. Was this the only coin you got?

shatsi,

I have no experience at grading so I have little if any credibility when giving you any opinions on grade. Just looking at the pictures though I thought there was very-very little wear and the coin is beautiful! I would be surprised to see it grade less than MS. Pictures never do the coin justice in my opinion and I think that you can add three to pretty much any grade that is not already on a curve. I think Ben summed it up the best (WOW) and gave you what I would have guessed.

Thanks for sharing

This and a Jefferson is the only one I got. I went just to browse but couldn't resist this.

 

Who did you get it from?

 

Who would? It is a very nice indian.:thumb: What year is the jefferson? Sorry, I am just curious.

Treashunt, I don't know the name of the dealer. Its a lady. I believe the ONLY lady dealer. She was to the left from the entrance. She was very nice. Now I regret not taking her name.

Phoenix21, I bought a BU 1939 Jefferson.

 

Nice. I would say you had a pretty good day. That indian head cent is very nice. :thumb
