I also picked this one up today. 1865 Indian I think fancy 5 I'm thinking ms63. I was hoping for a ms64 but on the top right of the shield it looks like some wear.   |

If it is wear, then automatically AU-58. But it might be strike weakness. Usually, TPG's will "market grade" an AU coin like this (if it is wear) as a lower MS grade. |

I guess I was off a little on this one. I thought I was getting the hang of this.

Throw it up on ebay with great, juicy red pictured (don't doctor or juice them though), and you should expect low MS RD money. |

Send it to a TPG. They will probably give it an MS Red grade. If it comes back AU, you'd have a buyer right here. Lovely coin. |

Pics out of the 2x2 would help tremendously. Puts too much glare on the coin.

My understanding is that any wear is AU , is that right? Cant tell from the photo however, out of the 2x2 flat on a surface would help

To me, yes, any wear is AU. To a TPG, there can be a gray fuzzy line between AU/UNC if the coin looks nice enough. I have seen an MS-67 commem with some noticable wear on the high points get an MS-63/64 before. |

Appears to be MS-63RD from these grainy scans.
