Photos are not really that good. Perhaps they could be trying to mask a cleaning as well the issues that upstate mentions.

AU details. Pass, this coin appears to have altered surfaces.

Where is the picture of the reverse of this coin? If there isn't one in the listing definitely pass on the coin as it probably has more severe issues than the obverse. Ed ANA LM-3175 |

Well, I did pass on this one eventually. The seller did posted a reverse pic, which is why I didn't ended up buying the coin (I liked the obverse). Well, here it is. What a shame  .  |

Ugh. That is a shame. Good you passed.
Looked good from the obverse.

you speak of the dark stuff I see around the lettering? Since no one else has answered you it is the dotty looking areas (pitted and raised dots) around the words STATES and AMERICA that leads me to believe it has corrosive surfaces |

To each their own, but even if the reverse were ok, I wouldn't purchase it. Not that any other opinion is wrong, just my take.
Even if the reverse were as "nice as the obverse" AU is around 55. That's a good AU, not one w/ issues. So say I can get this one as a "good deal" for 40.
I would get an XF for 40 that was in good shape instead.
That being said, it's just my way of looking at it, not necessarily the right way.

If you're really serious about nice Indians, stick to coins graded by PCGS, NGC or ANACS and begin to study what makes a coin original and how to detect cleaning. If buying raw, start with common date coins so the mistake don't cost as much. The obverse of the above coin looks cleaned to me and not one I would add to a collection.

Looks like there was a reason the listing didn't have a reverse photo.

It might be a good folder coin...where the reverse is not seen. Edited by oih82w8

Not sure I would buy it even for a folder. You'll never get your money back on a coin like this.
