It's amazing how they can play with the photo to make it look that good

I would have said XF before everyone gave their opinion :)

i just use a desk lamp that might be causing the shine I will take some others later. if they look different then I will post them. The bad thing about ebay is all the pictures are so small you cant really see. Edited by pman860507

Wow, they definitely edited those pictures. The contrast looks way off and it may be overly saturated.

The editing may make it look cleaned. I agree alot of dings. Wear on the obverse: tips of feathers, above eye, hair on neck, hair below ear, just to name a few areas. On the reverse: horizontal lines in shield, leaves in wreath, arrow heads, ribbon around arrows. Now this is just my opinion, I agree VF money and XF-40 details.
Again thats just my opinion.

I completely agree. In hand the coin looks a lot better but once you get it in a picture its done for. What would your suggestions be on ebay feedback. I'm not going to return the coin. I'm just going to consider this one a loss. |

Could it because of a "soft strike"? Otherwise I would say XF-45. Still a nice IHC! |

Detail is XF-45. He's a bit banged up and color is questionable so net grade of VF-35 or EF-40 is reasonable.
Regardless, nice Indian not nearly as ugly as most I have seen.

The photos you provided and the seller's make a world of difference. Detail wise, it is a XF-40. I disagree about the 'dings' however. They are small pits as 95% copper is easily damaged, a reputable IHC dealer would list such a coin as "XF detail, light corrosion" and discount it heavily maybe to G-VG pricing. It is not worth $12.00, IMO and if the return period is still valid, I'd return it. |

I would call that coin damaged (pitting) and list it for $4, and it probably wouldn't sell. Return it if you can.

I might contact the seller and see if I can work something out but I'm not sure if I will return it or not.

I need to invest in a microscope.
A microscope? Or just better magnification? One of the best loupes I ever bought cost seven bucks. I recently paid $10 delivered for five magnifiers on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/320719604697A great assortment for starting out, one of them should work for you. They have multiple ads, don't pay more than the minimum. If you're serious about the microscope, get a stereo. Not cheap, but full 3d. |

My loupe has a built in light. it comes in helpful at shows when the lighting sucks or something is hogging the light.
