[QUOTE="RonSanderson, post: 4146423, member: 77413"]The 1880's are getting closer to complete. With the arrival of this 1888 IHC, I only have 1880 and the two 1886 varieties to go. I sorta made a mistake on this one. The listing said About Uncirculated, but I missed it, so I bid like it was BU. Fortunately, the other bidders were sharper than me, and did not bid BU money, letting me off the hook for only $36. Nonetheless, I am still unsure if it is AU or BU. I think the strike is indistinct, and some of the obverse features may be weak, or may be worn. But the cheek is clean where I would expect to set some flattening from handling. The ONE CENT looks sharp and clean, as do the leaves, and you can't circulate the obverse without circulating the reverse at the same time. I am leaning toward MS62 or so rather than AU58, but I don't think I would go as low as AU55. Opinions?
