Hi All,
I would love to hear your opinions on this penny. I think I got a great deal on it for $5.50. I'm new to the forum so go easy on me!

Looks like a nice original AU53-AU55 with a neat little rim Cud above the O in OF on the obverse. You can still see some red luster in the reverse's protected areas around the wreath bow, etc. For $5.50 you did okay!

Looks like a great deal. I am thinking AU-58 based on the bright photo, may make MS. If you can try and cut down on the glare It may look better. Think I see some luster remaining through the coin and legends.
nice pick up.

and....

Rest in Peace

4 Diamonds ,sharp full Liberty, very nice bow on reverse.
But from your photos I can't tell if it's been lightly cleaned . Some wear on feathers and curls ,the nick on cheek doesn't help this Indian . AU-55 . $5.50 not bad .

Overall, very appealing!

The marks on the cheek are a little detracting but still a deal for $5.50.

Excellent strike for a late-date IHC.
