That is a 1895 IHC, not an 1885. Note the position of the last feather on the headdress

you nailed it on the head. It has the feather design of 1886 and onwards, impossible to be an 1885. I sent the seller what I thought was a friendly note about his mistake. However, I got a response that said how much of an expert he was and not to contact him again unless I was buying one of his coins. Anyone else want to try to contact the seller? lol

Or if you REALLY want to be nasty, buy his coin then file a SNAD.
That way you can ping his DSR's and give him a neg.

too much effort for me kanga, I just feel bad for the person who fills the 1885 hole in their album with this non-1885 coin.

I also sent an email to the seller. He has not responded nor has he changed his listing. Either he doesn't believe us or he is to stubborn to admit he is wrong.

I just received a reply from the seller. He is now convinced that this is a special coin because he can clearly see the '8' in the pics. Some people will just not admit that they are wrong.
