panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18702 Posts	Posted 04/09/2017 8:15 pm the reflective light is making this one difficult to sort out. I think it might make AU50. the obverse look like a weaker strike but the surfaces do not appear to be natural it could be the lighting or it could that the coin was cleaned and with the fingerprint across the obverse I'm leaning toward the later that someone was attempting to remove Report this Post to the Staff

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11898 Posts	Posted 04/09/2017 9:36 pm !885 Indian Head cents were made of bronze not copper-nickel. If it was made out of copper-nickel, it would be an error coin or pattern that would be quite valuable. But I think what you have here is a bronze 1885 IHC with questionable color and surfaces. 45-50 sounds about right. 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."
