I've been looking at this for a while. What grade would you put this as then what would you be willing to pay for it. I just love the look and details, but just cannot decide. PLEASE HELP........   |

The woodgrain makes it a bit hard to see if there's any wear. It appears to be an MS brown IHC. Based on just one pic, I'd probably buy it for $25-30. |

DVCollector, thanks. These are the pictures off the auction. I thought it would be MS just how high. I was thinking around the price range you had. I'm trying to put together as many IHC in MS as I can and this is definitely something we can afford and is MUCH better than our 1906. The seller is "legacy coins" on ebay. I've never bought from them but the feedback's a 100%. For some reason I can't copy the link in. |

that coin has some nice die clashes on it, I would say MS63BN from what I can tell from the pictures. I would pay UNC price for it.

Not sure if that color is entirely natural. Not saying necessarily it was cleaned, but it could have been unnatural toning. Great strike though. I don't see any wear. Probably MS-63

I would give $30, but of course thats only because I like that particular coin. I think that toning is amazing! My dealer has a ASE in the windowsill of his shop that has toned red on the bottom and looks  ! |

Anyone here ever dealt with the dealer, "legacy coins". Just wondering. Went on their site and they have some amazing coins, makes me want to get a 2nd mortgage tomorrow and go ballistic  |

fwiw Grancap, I wouldn't buy it. The surfaces are too awkward for me and there's just something about it I don't like.
That said, if I had a nice big collection of nice indians, I might like this one just because it's different.
I know a couple of the people from Legacy (if it's the group I'm thinking it is). They offer loans on coins - very interesting program. Good people, but their stuff is - I shouldn't say overpriced, but I'll say they set the bar high for the market, IMO. I'm most often looking for a "deal" rather than the perfect coin, so unless I had a crazy budget, I probably wouldn't buy from them.

Delaner, thanks. I just thought we would put a bid a see what happens but I'm not going to go crazy with this. It's the best 1906 I've seen and the coloring is really interesting to me, whether its natural or not (I'm leaning toward not). But that said, the detail is fantastic looking to me. I'll try and see what happens. It's not like it is a 1916d Merc.

That coin is easily a technical gem and it's very strongly struck, as well. The drawback is the surface isn't as "alive" and "bouncy" as one would otherwise like to see in a MS65. Personally, I have a strong bias for the former, and wouldn't let that one go easily.
