KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 12/25/2007 12:42 pm Since I know little about IHC, I thought someone here might have a seasoned impression of this coin? Does it look legit...or possibly cleaned? There's also more to this coin than at first glance...can you spot it? Edited by KurtS 12/25/2007 12:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 12/25/2007 1:22 pm The coin looks full EF with a shot at AU the color looks natural in the pic ,,I don't see anything that jumps out at me and says cleaned . is that a 7 I see peeking out on the date ?

KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 12/25/2007 1:48 pm Thanks Metalman. I suspected a cleaned coin might get rid of those deposits. Anyway, here's what I noticed. The arrow appears to point to a previous SE 8 that I see documented in Fivaz/Stanton's Cherrypicker's Guide. Report this Post to the Staff
Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 12/25/2007 2:03 pm Check the last 9 in the date ,,it could just be a photo anomoly ,,but there is also a 9 over 7 for that date . Metalman Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 12/25/2007 2:30 pm I know what you're talking about, but I think the last 9 on that variety is further from the denticles (imo). Thanks! Edited by KurtS 12/25/2007 3:00 pm Report this Post to the Staff

KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 12/25/2007 4:19 pm Hehe...all I know comes from reading a book last night! Since this is a minor RPD, I might skip. But, if anyone else wants it...just let me know where to find it...it's on auction. Edited by KurtS 12/26/2007 11:40 am Report this Post to the Staff
