Just won this beauty for $81. What do you think gradewise? If I am unhappy it has a full return policy as long as it is unopened from shipping.

Did I do well? I am slowly building a nice indian head collection.

Not sure this one is authentic. I don't like the date or the rims.

It was too nice to pass up I am not sure if it is a weird strike, perhaps maybe ex jewelry, or it could very well be a fake. I got a full refund option so if many don't like it either then I will simply return. Seller also has a beautiful 1869 for sale which I like too.

I agree the double rim looks very odd.

Even if I don't return it right away I will be bringing it to my coin guy 20 mins away and have him look....If he thinks its ok I will keep it cause he has seen millions of coins over a 35 year career....If he agrees its altered and such back to the seller it goes.
Rest in Peace

It was once an Encased Cent. It would be worth a lot more if the case was still intact.

Date looks o.k. to me I would say it was an 'off strike'
He has a 30 day return so, should be o.k.

Genuine, but I think mox hits it on the head - once enclased.
