Hey folks I recently purachased a couple IHC on eBay , they finally arrived this morning. One is a raw coin the other is in a ICG slab. What grade would you guys give these ?
The 1904 I'd guess MS-63 - MS-64 BN. The 1905 I can't tell if it has luster or not but I'd say AU-55 - MS-62 BN depending on the surface condition. I've said it before, I'm not a copper guy, so I've found grading a bit tricky for my right now.
I just went and looked , seems to be a scuff mark on the slab in that area. Nothing on the coin though.
Thanks for posting guys. Everyone was really close if not dead on with the 1904 , it is indeed a ms64 BN. As for the 1905 I'm not that good with copper coins . So comparing it to slabbed coins and going by my ANA grading standards book. Seems it's AU50-55 but I'd say 55 would be a bit generous.
