I already got a bunch of coins when I decided to check my dealer's penny tray, I have never checked it before. He has a Choice BU 1910 Cent for $16, AU Indians from the 1900's for $15 and BU 1909 VDB cents for $20. I only had $15 remaining on my budget but I wanted everything there. Anyways, What I decided to buy was a nice 1879 Indian for $15. It's funny because my coin dealer will charge $35 for a 1921 Morgan in EF condition but will have good deals somewhere else. What do you think?? Did I do good? How much is it worth and what is it's grade? He graded this as Fine-12 Sorry for bad photos, I took the obverse and reverse in different lighting, the reverse had overly saturated lighting, the obverse shows a better representation of color.
I'm not sure about environmental damage, I'm not seeing anything bad in hand. I took the photos outside in the sun which may have made the coin look funny. You know more than me on this though and copper is not my biggest focus.
You've seen it in-hand so I would have to defer to you, but the surfaces look soft likes these IHCs get when they are lightly corroded from being dug.
