   Nice 1892 Indian Head cent with the bizarre scarface variety. What do you all think it will grade from a TPG, specifically PCGS, and also what color designation will it receive? I did my best to capture the color, but my photography definitely need work. The blurry picture is just for seeing the most accurate version of its color. Thanks for the help,  Eric

ms63rb. feather tips show what looks like wear, but it is more likely a weak strike from a shattered die.
I'm not a fan of cracked dies, but this one is very spectacular - in the way spaghetti on a white wall is.
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."

Looks mint state, but I'm not convinced the surfaces are original. Nice variety!

Awesome variety, S-14! It looks mint state and the obverse looks good. Reverse color looks a little funny, but it could just be the lighting. Nice cherrypick! Mine is graded AU details cleaned unfortunately, but I still like it. Should be worth a lot if you ever try to sell it, I don't think one has ever really sold before, so hard to gauge prices, but I think you're right with the $1k ballpark figure. Could consign with Rick Snow if you would part with it, probably the best place to sell varieties like this one.

@Mike1487 nailed the variety (although it's hard to miss).
Snow's guide has it marked as having a 3x-5x premium.
If you haven't already submitted it I strongly suggests paying the extra for variety attribution.

Will do kanga! Will ship off to PCGS soon once I have 4 coins that are worth enough to be graded.

That one is certainly worth the grading fee.
I'd agree with 63 RB. Nice example.

I've visited Rick at the major coin shows in person (Whitman Expo, FUN). He's very friendly and can answer questions for you. I've also sent him coins through the mail as well after emailing him.
