DavidZerbato Pillar of the Community United States 1081 Posts	Posted 08/01/2011 10:13 pm I just purchased these Indians. The 1869/9 is to upgrade my old one. The 1897 is just a really cool variety. 1869/9 Snow 4 ANACS VG10 1897 Snow 1 G6 Edited by DavidZerbato 08/01/2011 10:15 pm Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 08/01/2011 10:20 pm Two very nice varieties! My eyes went straight to the date, then I realized you called it already. By Snow's grading standards, the 1869 might go higher than VG10.... Report this Post to the Staff
DavidZerbato Pillar of the Community United States 1081 Posts	Posted 08/01/2011 10:26 pm Quote: They're beautiful! What exactly is the variety? The first one is a repunched date on the "6" and "9." It was originally thought to be an overdate and thus was incredibly popular, but later it was proven only to be a repunched date. However, it is still very popular and is in many albums. The 1897 as a misplaced date. There is a "1" sticking out of the neck in liberty, a very visible and unique variety. Quote: By Snow's grading standards, the 1869 might go higher than VG10. I actually traded my 1864L for these two coins with Rick Snow. I didn't ask what he thought of the grade, but it look like a very nice VG10 and possibly Fine.

mycrob Pillar of the Community United States 2604 Posts	Posted 08/02/2011 10:37 am I think the 69/69 is F12. Undergraded and a candidate for crack out in my opinion. The 97 is solid G6 but hard to tell with the lighting if a few letters of LIberty are showing. I think 3 partial letters showing is what they are calling VG nowadays- the grading on Indian cents has changed in recent years. I had a chance to get the 1894/94 at a coin show this weekend for $25, but it was corroded, G at best details, cleaned and the dealer wouldn't budge on the price, so I passed. It was a clear overdate, though. I'm wondering if I should of bought it though, as it is tough to find. Report this Post to the Staff
