buddy16cat Pillar of the Community United States 1536 Posts	Posted 06/03/2013 02:06 am I saw this sitting in a lot of mostly not so hot Indian Heads. My eye site is good and just double checking that I was seeing a 1869 IHC. I compared it to other 1869s to make sure. This is 1869 correct. Looks like it may be VG but most likely G Edited by buddy16cat 06/03/2013 06:01 am Report this Post to the Staff

buddy16cat Pillar of the Community United States 1536 Posts	Posted 06/03/2013 02:40 am I figured it was that is why the lot was bidding hire and I was expecting a snipe attempt the last few seconds. I don't think that the picture is really good enough to determine a grade but it good enough to tell the date. I got the lot of 15 for $27 with shipping. If it has blended rims and not a weak strike it is AG but I can't even tell that from that picture since it was grouped together. This is an edited picture enlarged which always causes pictures to become blurry. Edited by buddy16cat 06/03/2013 03:03 am Report this Post to the Staff

buddy16cat Pillar of the Community United States 1536 Posts	Posted 06/03/2013 05:08 am Really? I thought it was high VF. I think I will just wait till I get it to have an opinion about it. I can see the words around the rim but they appear weak. I always check things out first because there could be more to things since coins at that age had all types of strike issues like being Struck Through Grease or have a weak strike. I dismissed this coin as damaged but turned out it had a lamination peel. On the other hand, you could be right and it is just an AG coin. I hope it has a over-date but I zoomed in and didn't see anything. Edited by buddy16cat 06/03/2013 05:52 am Report this Post to the Staff

ThisIsFun Pillar of the Community United States 2480 Posts	Posted 06/03/2013 06:18 am Hard to say until you have it in hand, but it looks AG to me, can't tell if it's problem-free or not. In case you don't have it bookmarked, here is Rick Snow's guide to grading IHCs: http://indiancent.com/grading.pdf Report this Post to the Staff
buddy16cat Pillar of the Community United States 1536 Posts	Posted 06/03/2013 06:47 am Here is the original link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/INDIAN-HEAD...p=true&rt=nc I didn't see any problems I was aware of, but as you see the coin is on the bottom right and it might be difficult to determine from this picture. Funny how the letters appear to mostly be all there but they are all weak I just read in that guide that "coins have their grades written for them when they are struck". I think the coin had a weak strike maybe. It is probably AG. I have read that guide before. The XF is different than other guides. I usually go by the little curl that goes onto the tassel.
