Hello all, i just got back from a trip to the coin shop where i struck a pretty good deal on an indian head cent collection. I wanted to see if any of you could help verify my 1877 and 1909 s pennies. I also wanted to see what you thought i shouldve paid for it. Thanks all!
1877 looks cleaned but has the characteristic weak top of obverse and shallow N. Looks okay in my not overly experienced opinion.
77 real but an environment damage that’s spent some ground time. Good+ details I’d say. G 6 as a technical grade. Tge 08-s has been cleaned. A dipped A vf 30 details. Why the red in the protected spots. Honest coin with unnatural color. It retoned everywhere else first. The 09-s an honest f15 with good surface.
I wouldn’t doubt a few have been dipped years ago and have mostly retoned. But not evenly. The 06 and 07 examples of that.
