[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 7611902, member: 101855"]Unfortunately, I don't think that the piece is genuine. If you look at the little "teeth" around the rim of the design, called denticles, they appear to be uneven. That is a sure fire sign of trouble. Also the high aspects of the design on the reverse are weak or missing. the lines in the top of shield do not appear to be there, and the oak wreath is missing detail. The same weakness can be noted in the feathers in the Indian's headdress on the obverse. If the piece were to be real, the reverse is obviously unnatural. It would not get a grading color for cleaning. I don't have a 1907 Indian Cent, but I do have an 1864 Bronze Cent. Note the design details and the denticles. This piece is graded MS-65, Red and Brown. [ATTACH=full]1310362[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1310363[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
