SLQMIKE New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 04/08/2008 11:58 pm I bought this penny on ebay last week. It is uncertified. The picture on ebay showed a little more red. This is a creamy brown with some mint luster. Here are the scanned photos. http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...48_1905a.jpg http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...8_1905rv.jpg Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 04/09/2008 08:46 am I'm going to disagree a little and call it no worse than EF; maybe AU50. LIBERTY and the feather tips are just too sharp for me to think otherwise. Report this Post to the Staff
mycrob Pillar of the Community United States 2602 Posts	Posted 04/09/2008 08:54 am I think this coin is a middle AU- AU55. Four diamonds are seen, but there is the slightest wear on the ribbon end that prevents it from being MS. Seeing all 4 diamonds usually makes it XF-AU for Indian cents. Nice coin!

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6384 Posts	Posted 04/09/2008 3:05 pm I think this one makes AU. Slight wear is obvious on the cheek and hair curls but all detail is present. The reverse looks a bit better. AU-50 overall. Report this Post to the Staff
