[QUOTE="WingedLiberty, post: 1232739, member: 26030"]Thanks for all the feedback ... great comments. Do you all like this 1928 Indian better (left photo)? This 1928 (left) is the other Gold Indian that I am considering. I like the 1928 on the left, which shows great original color and nice color variation, but my eye keeps getting drawn to what appears to be a hole in the tail. (I actually think it's a black spot, maybe a copper spot from the copper alloy that was not properly mixed?). Another positive is it's one grade higher MS64 and graded by PCGS (which some people think is a better grading company) I love the obverse on the 1926, right photo, (which I posted in the OP and posted again here to make comparisons easier) but less fond of the reverse. It is striking and usual though. And me being a colorfully-toned coin collector, it could be a striking addition. However it's one grade lower MS63 and graded by NGC (a company which some people think is more lax on questionably toned coins). Which do you like better? The 1928 with a spot on the eagles tail ... or the 1926 leather pouch toned ... or neither (i should keep looking)? [ATTACH]131450.vB[/ATTACH] vs. [ATTACH]131451.vB[/ATTACH] By the way, my interest is a 2.5 Indian with "original" color (a coin showing some color variation that is not dipped out to a uniform bright gold).[/QUOTE]
