1871 Indian Cent For Comments

The corrosion spot on the neck alone is enough to put me off. This coin has been cleaned.

Yeah, I'm still hunting. Thanks for the advice.

Current bid is at $89, with a couple of days left to go. Bold "N" coin, I believe. I'm out - looking to spend a bit more for a better coin, when I can find it.

this coin is not worth the current bid

Good grief.

Someone will find out eventually they got duped. This is where experience matters.

yep. if you are not well versed in coin grading and familiar with all the issues that can occur post mint and buying raw coins, you are better off playing the lottery.

to me all they saw was an 1871 indian head and that if the coin graded VF35 or XF $186 would be a steal. I'm not into buying detailed coins but I suspect if someone could sell it it would be worth half that. so either they are going to sell it someone else who doesn't what they have or they just a pretty good hit to the pocketbook
