OK, I have one other one. This one is housed in a small ANACS slab graded AU 55, which I agree with. Although I don't actively collect these by date, I thought that when I do, I would collect them in the AU grade level mainly for price. I picked this one up mostly because of the interesting die crack along the reverse shield. I will also step out and describe it as a retained cud as I can see a shift in the registration along the denticles. Although minor, I thought it was pretty cool and maybe someday come across one where the whole piece is missing, if even possible.

Nice is it for sale =)

 

Matt, that's a very nice 1893. Is it graded about MS64 RB? Maybe 65RB? It has really nice surfaces and a very appealing mix of reds and browns! :thumb:

 

Thanks brg, I picked it up raw from a fellow coin club member and CoinTalker one night at a club meeting. Like I said before, I don't chase these at the moment, but I can identify the "look" these need to have to grade. I kept it around raw for a submission filler for when I get a coin that HAS to get graded I can send in a group of 5 so the grade tier is less expensive. This one is MS 64 BN, which I agree with. I'm glad you like it too. Matt

 

If you ever plan to part with it, let me know. That's the kind of "look" I like my IHCs to have.

 

1900.

 

Here are two of my friend Mel's best IHC's.

 

I'm almost embarrassed to post these two here; they are raw, and rough.. Straight out of the goldrush gum bag!

(And I am tickled with them!)

Was at the bank earlier this week visiting my coins at the safe deposit box and I'm really starting to think that I have a new favorite Indian Head Cent... my 1909 proof graded PCGS PR66RDCAM is really really growing on me



I had the coin imaged for PCGS CoinFacts, thinking they would emphasize the cameo contrast since only a few 1909 proofs have been given the cameo designation, but instead they imaged it to show off the color... oh well, still a nice shot:

 

This is my first MS IHC. I was torn between 3 and ended up getting this 1888 PCGS MS64RB CAC.

 

That is a nice one to start with - now you only have 60 more to go. Well depending if you include the CUNI and flying eagles.

 

Thats just not fair!! Those are beautiful!!

 

LOL only 60. I am not John Gotti here. Just trying to get 1-2 nice examples per series. Man that would be the day.

 

Here's my favorite...

 

I haven't posted my 1909 IHC in PCGS MS66RD in this thread yet... though I have been using it as my avatar icon since I joined this forum... How about some bigger pics:









Definitely one of the prettiest full red IHCs I've seen and I'm glad to own it
