Finally got the 3 different types of Indian cents, guess the grades and tell me which is your favorite and any insights good or bad as I'm still learning #1 1859
The coin does not look like it has a lot of wear. For me, I didn't think the surface quality was great and did not think it merited an AU designation. By surface quality I mean no indication of any luster. For AU I like to see some trace even if hugging the devices. The surfaces of this coin look well rubbed down by contact.
I am guessing you chose a better grade because it was cheaper that the other two coins. The later date IHC's are common so you can afford to be choosy. See my $8 1906 IHC thread.
