iheartlincolns Valued Member United States 67 Posts	Posted 08/04/2010 11:22 pm I have this Indian Head and it has some problems. It is actually showing 4 diamonds, but... well I will let you decide... Obviously the corrosion is a huge problem, but how does one go about grading a coin like this! Thanks in advance Jerry Report this Post to the Staff

iheartlincolns Valued Member United States 67 Posts	Posted 08/05/2010 02:50 am It's too bad really. It's a pretty common coin, but it didn't get handled much in it's lifetime. Thanks for the info, Thad. Report this Post to the Staff
big777bill Valued Member United States 376 Posts	Posted 08/05/2010 08:44 am I'd go higher than VF-20 maybe as high as VF-35 but with the same details remarks as BadThad (cleaned, environmental and physical damage). Too bad it's a nice coin otherwise. Report this Post to the Staff
mycrob Pillar of the Community United States 2602 Posts	Posted 08/05/2010 10:35 am I actually think with 4 diamonds showing, this could get an EF rating. Report this Post to the Staff

iheartlincolns Valued Member United States 67 Posts	Posted 08/10/2010 04:03 am The diamonds are on the ribbon that hangs down from the head dress (obverse). There are 4 of them. Wear on the coin will obliterate them. A 4 diamond coin hasn't seen much circulation. It's one of the features that is used to grade the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 08/16/2010 2:35 pm Buried once, cleaned, rim damage (out of round). Common coin = not really gradable. Oh well...still a piece of history. Report this Post to the Staff
