Here is an 1887 Indian Head cent up for grading. The photos aren't so great, but I think there is enough detail to accuretely grade this coin. There are
2 1/2 to 3 Diamonds visible when the coin is held in hand. The coin has an original, chocolate brown color and hasn't been cleaned or altered. There are very minor marks in the fields. All comments appreciated! Thank you.

I'm at about VF-35, although it's awfully close to EF. Love the color that does appear completely original.

40-45 somewhere around there. Could be your pics but I see a lot of fresh copper on the high points.

Thanks all for the grades. I somehow won this one for $2.99 (not including shipping) from a seller with only 1 feedback. It was a bad picture and the title had no description what the coin's condition would be. However, it turned out great!

By the way, what does "fresh copper" mean Raymo? Is it glinting red spots on where the coin has wear?

The pinkish high spots should be brown like the rest of the coin.
