Here is an 1863 Indian cent. This is one of those "thick white" cents which were issued for most of the Civil War period. Although the diameter is the same as the modern cent, the coin is two or three times thicker. The 1863 cent is the most common date in this group. Here's the coin. What would you grade it and what do you think PCGS called it?   Edited by billjones

IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

I can't see this less than 65, and I wouldn't be shocked if PCGS gave it a 66.

really solid strike. I was debating proof/business strike due to strike. I'm going with MS65

I'll guess MS65, with a possibility of being one of the few 66s.

No less than MS-64. Shot at 65. Nice one!

I'm at 64 tops here if that. Lower obverse neck and field marks hold it back.

Looks about the same as my MS64 so I'd say MS64.
