ChildOfTheWheat Pillar of the Community United States 5828 Posts	Posted 03/08/2015 11:12 am MS-62 RB, and if you could fix the lighting, that would be great :) Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18725 Posts	Posted 03/08/2015 6:47 pm Imo the coin has circulation wear evidenced by the hair ribbon and high points near the bow on the reverse. It also looks like someone attempted to clean some areas particularly the lower third of the obverse. I'm at AU58 details Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 03/08/2015 8:56 pm If I'm seeing this correctly, it looks like it's been lacquered. There's a strike anomaly resembling wear at the bottom of the hair, but that's what you have to call it when 4 pristine, as-struck diamonds sit right next to it. Report this Post to the Staff
Celticsoul Pillar of the Community United States 1566 Posts	Posted 03/08/2015 9:55 pm No lacquer that I can see just a brownish red tone. I have enough red and red brown Indian Heads in my collection to know that it hasn't been cleaned. I think the coin is a high AU but I decided to ask the community what they thought.

Pennynickelguy Valued Member United States 308 Posts	Posted 03/08/2015 11:12 pm Based on what Celticsoul is saying, I am going to go with MS63 RD. Not too many marks or nicks. Originally, my biggest concern was about the surface. The pictures are a little hard to go on, maybe because the surface is so shiny? Report this Post to the Staff
