This is the best of my Indian Heads by far, condition wise, and I think it was a steal for what I paid for it back in around 2002. I know it has a few issues with verdigris and after noticing it, it's in an acitone bath for what I believe is tape residue on the front that had to have been there when I got the coin, as I never removed it from the original 2x2 until today.

It does indeed have the diamonds, here's some better pictures post-acitone. Looks like the residue is gone!

Pics are a bit small, but details look XF (or possibly AU, hard to tell from these pics - where are the diamonds? ).

I bet that this is not the first acetone bath this coin goes through.
You can clearly see the result of the last bath.

If I were to buy it, as is, I'd probably pay no more than 3-4$.

xf-40, weak feather tips and diamonds may be due to poor strike. As supgog stated, it my be worth a couple of bucks

Not bad, since I paid $1 for this and a half dozen others poor coins at a flea market back then
