[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 4003890, member: 101855"]I have been moving away from U.S. coins over past couple of years. The grading issues have ruined the market for me, and I would prefer to collect things that I enjoy more. I did decide to assemble a set of Indian Cents from the Civil War era to go along with my Civil War tokens. That invovles a "short set" from 1861 to 1865. I had and 1865 that I bought many years ago that is raw, and that will suffice. I also had an 1863, which is the most common date in the set. I purchased this 1862 cent at the recent FUN show. It is the second most common date in the group, head of only the 1863. This photo makes it look rough, but it is actually lusterous and smooth. The mark in the center, to the right of Ms. Liberty's eye, is raised. It is either a die break or maybe a die scratch. This piece is graded MS-64.
