This beautiful coin I recently acquired. I am not real familiar with them but I was hoping the experts could grade and possibly appraise this coin. Thanks

Something looks off about this coin. Not your typical 1914 Indian. I'm gonnah say it's likely Polished, would account for the softened and flattened details, impaired luster and haloed devices.

Better pictures, preferable under natural light would help.

Looks like it's a 1914 D. Cleaned/polished.

I agree it looks polished.

The little D in front of the arrows on the reverse means this was minted in Denver.

Value wise, I'll let others speak as I don't really have that insight.

EF-40 details, polished. Value only slightly more than bullion, $155-160.

I am going to go with VF details. I agree with the others about it being polished but I just want to add that I think it was once a jewelry piece. That would account for the ring around the perimeter where the bezel protected it and the massive difference in the amount of detail between the obverse and reverse.

It does look polished and/or ex-jewelry and worth about $200 retail.
