<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Victor, post: 132214, member: 5454&quot;]Well I just went through all my Indian heads that&#039;s how I know.&nbsp; Redbook says :</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; G-4&nbsp; Good - No letters of Liberty visible.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; G-8&nbsp; VG- At least some letters readable</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; F-12 Fine -&nbsp; Liberty mostly visible</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; VF-20 Very Fine-&nbsp; Slight but even wear on Liberty</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; EF-40 extremely Fine - Liberty sharp.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; So you see the word Liberty on the headband is a key to grading old Indian cents.</p><p><br /></p><p>Took them out of a decayed and rotting album and put them into individual 2X2 holders. Some glue or gum came off the album onto the reverse of some coins.&nbsp; They were probably in that blue folder 55 years.</p><p>&nbsp;Made the decision I will never complete the set anyway.&nbsp;&nbsp; Too expensive for nice pre 1880s.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have most of them from 1880 and newer.</p><p>Very few have the complete headband intact.&nbsp; My pride and joy is a 1863 in fairly nice shape.&nbsp; I wonder if General Grant bought himself a beer with that coin?</p><p><br /></p><p>So what&#039;s a sapper?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
