I recently picked up a Copper Nickel Indian Head cent and wanted to see what the CCF Members thought of her in comparison to PCGS. Thank you for your interest!   |

Well, guessing is free, but I always feel un-sure with higher grade indians. Anyway, my guess is MS-62 cleaned...

I would say 62RB, bunch of rim hits, lots of scratches, can't see it being any higher, or if it even is graded problem-free...

Copper Nickel Cents (1859-1864) did not receive the color designations of BN, RB, or RD...and it is problem free, although a little weakly struck (PUP - LIBERTY).

Idk - ms62? I could see a low end 63 though. It's a nice piece regardless.

Nice crumbling rim! I like this one, really a nice example of an early IHC. Too bad the obverse is not as free from marks as the reverse is. Since it's a copper - nickel there is no color designation given. I'll guess it sits in a PCGS MS62 holder - though this could possibly go AU, the magnified photo on your PhotoBucket space, really shows off the dings on the cheek, ouch! Coins never look great that close up, LOL. Like grading using a 15-20 power loupe, every little tick becomes a canyon.

My first impression was 63 and I'll stick with that. 62 sounds too tough because the strike and luster look pretty good. 64 sounds a bit generous given the obverse contact marks and lack of full detail on the tips of the headdress feathers.
Overall it is a very nice coin and I would like it as a MS63.

My brain said 63 as soon as I saw it but Westcoin points out those slight flaws on the obverse relief so did that drop it to a 61? Hmmmmm....
