mds308 Pillar of the Community United States 1721 Posts	Posted 11/17/2012 6:54 pm I had a great day finding coins. This is by far one of the neatest and most unusual IHC I have ever owned. It has the nicest tone but it was hard for me to capture it's true image with the camera. There is one spot in the headdress that distracts from the beauty of the coin. What do you think she'd grade at and would PCGS be a good idea to up value or would they poo-poo it because of the blemish on the obverse? As always, thanks for your time and help.

IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36745 Posts	Posted 11/17/2012 7:52 pm It looks like a decent MS63RB coin but I think PCGS would give you a "genuine holder" for the environmental problem on the head dress. Think I would save the money on submitting it. Report this Post to the Staff
mds308 Pillar of the Community United States 1721 Posts	Posted 11/17/2012 8:42 pm IndianGoldEagle, That's what I was afriad of. Oh well, at least I'm into the coin for practically nothing which makes it a win-win. Report this Post to the Staff
D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 11/17/2012 11:29 pm I think the coin will grade and most likely MS-63 RB at best. Not much to complain about when you got the coin for next to nothing. Report this Post to the Staff
upstate Pillar of the Community United States 3283 Posts	Posted 11/18/2012 07:15 am with MS 63 Great coin. I wouldn't know if it would slab or not (nor would I care) but certainly others would. Report this Post to the Staff
SHAFTA9a Bedrock of the Community Canada 10743 Posts	Posted 11/18/2012 08:11 am Yeah.. another vote for MS-63RB, the spot on the headdress doesn't distract from it that much, great looking Indian. Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6385 Posts	Posted 11/19/2012 01:05 am Spotting on uncirculated copper can really hurt the grade. Between the spots, the dark area on the headdress, and the overall blotchy red-brown color I'd "market-grade" this one as MS-60RB. Definitely not worth having graded. The natural home for this cent is in an album where it will look just fine as a raw Unc. Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 11/19/2012 09:24 am I have seen other coins that weren't holdered as problem free for smaller spots so I am going to say PCGS would put it in a Genuine holder. It is a nice coin either way but I am guessing that is a carbon spot and they always frown when these type of spots are on the coin, even on silver Report this Post to the Staff
