That, is one of the most beautiful Indian Head coins I have ever seen.


Another vote for MS-64.

D0ubl3Eagle,
In addition to being an awesome coin, your photogrpahs are top notch. What is your technique for getting pictures like this?

I'm going with MS-65 with a plus for eye appeal.
They don't get much nicer

Very nice coin!

I would also like to know about your photo set up for the pics. Good detail and you captured the toning!

The picture was taken with my Canon SD1100. The settings I used for this coin were ISO80, timer of 5 secs, no flash, 3x optical zoom, tungsten for white balance, 0 for exposure, and spot metering. The camera was mounted on a tripod and the coin was placed on a piece of velvet. As for lighting, I used 2 halogen lights though they are both of different intensity so one of the lights was farther away from the coin than the other. I placed both lights around 90 degrees apart. I will try to get a pic of my setup but I won't be home until around Sunday.

I bet you if this goes into PCGS, they'll slap it with the same 'questionable color' BS they put on any coin that doesn't look exactly how they want it.

Sure they might. But anybody with so much as a lick of sense knows they're crazy.

Outstanding coin. They don't get much better than this. I'll say it's easily a MS-64 and should trade or "market grade" over that.
Rest in Peace

Wow, that coin is absolutely amazing! I bet Charmy (pennylady) would buy love this coin. I agree with 64/65.

Speaking of Charmy, that reminds me of a blue toned 1878 Indian cent which she posted on one of the other coin forums. I have been drooling over that coin ever since I first saw it and just had to get a blue toned Indian cent. Just love how they look with that type toning!
