Yeah--I have a hard time paying good money for problem coins. I'd take a nice G4 before that one.

Yeah--that sure looks like the "feather bar" S-5. I would've been hesitant bidding much higher--unsure about surfaces/color.

I'm honestly not sure that IHC variety gets much of a premium with that heavy rev. corrosion.  But I've seen some really butt-ugly/corroded 1870's sell for good money on eBay--I'd take a G4 w/ even wear over a "EF details" slug.

Definitely the S-1--is that yours? That coin's been through a lot.

At least you got it for cheap!  I found one in a lot on eBay--you could just barely tell from the pics.

That's one I've been looking for, but they are hard to see sometimes. I'll figure it out eventually.

I noticed that one too--it looks like the correct position for the S-7.

 My first impression was sorta bright--dipped?  I'd actually prefer a more worn example with nice brown surfaces.

He does put a haze and glare on his pics.
