<p>[QUOTE="WingedLiberty, post: 1154509, member: 26030"]<b>Sunflower</b>, funny you mention the $5 Indian. I tried to buy one of those yesterday as well. But looking through the dealers selection, I could not find one I really liked. (I actually bought a $2.5 Indian off eBay a little while back, but ended up returning it.) One of my problems was how often the TPG slabs obscurred part of the coin -- I just didnt like the effect. Another problem was how some of the Indians were struck off-center so part of the design or date was missing. I think finding a well-struck, well-centered, Indian with original mint luster might be a hard find -- and the TPG slab issue is a bit of a problem (for me at least) with these smaller coins. In any case, good luck with your future hunt! (And cool that you collect MPCs, they are interesting to look at)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
