I don't actively collect indian heads, especially high grade ones. But when I saw this and its obscenely low price I snapped it up at an estate sale (lots of junk otherwise). I'd like some opinions on grade. I may try and flip this one. another angle/lighting for the obv:
I'd say that I see some light circulation on the obverse mostly (tips of the feathers) so for me it'd be an AU assuming it still has pretty decent luster... it's a shame about the streaky planchet.
I guessing you are right about AU, but if you have any more of those shameful streaky planchets you would like to get rid of, send me a pm.
I like the streaky planchet. I was also thinking AU because of the beads on the necklace, but wasn't sure if it was a weaker strike or wear, but I see what you are saying about the feather tips.
Hmm - I think AU. The first set of pictures make it look decent with slight rub above the ear. The reverse I like the obverse I wish the streaks covered it all. Now the second picture makes the wear look worse and makes me wonder if it would be would of those "questionable" color coins. I believe the 09-S is known for weak strikes, but not the 09. Just my 'umble opinion.
