so, obviously being a Canadian, I don't have much experience in older US coinage, that being said, I love the Indian Heads and Peace dollars, I picked this up today, please note the mark on the Indian's head and minor scratches on the obverse between "Sates" and "Of", as well as "1906" and "United"

thanks!

Nice coin, probably MS details, however..
What is engraved between the date and "UNITED" (I don't believe it's a scratch).

Also, there might be something between the A of America and the date, as well as before the "OF".

The dot on the hair is also a bit disturbing.

It is an MS details coin and also appears to have been cleaned or recolored.

Nice MS coin but someone carved JW into it hurting value considerably

I'm with IndianGoldEagle, looks to have been doctored up a bit. Nice coin but that kills it value wise, plus all the scratches someone put on it. What a shame.

I agree with an MS coin, but the color looks off and the graffiti kills the value.

It is a shame that somebody recolored it and that it has graffiti.

I paid 5$ for it, but I can't complain even if I did over pay. The details are sharp, the pictures do no justice.
