bologna1 Valued Member United States 54 Posts	Posted 03/18/2018 11:26 am I need an 1859 Indian cent still, on a budget. Thoughts on this one. How much does the fact it looks like the indian has been eating .... affect the value? Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 03/18/2018 11:31 am Larger pics would really help. At least VF-30, maybe higher, hard to confirm here. Report this Post to the Staff
numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11898 Posts	Posted 03/18/2018 11:33 am looks about vf30. not really concerned that liberty looks like she was eating a hershey bar, but the weakly struck reverse does far more for me to lower the eye appeal. I would be patient and look for a coin with better eye appeal. Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 03/18/2018 1:42 pm Are you looking for a slabbed coin? Or will a lower grade raw do for "on a budget". I wouldn't call a VF30 slabbed at $35-50 a budget bargain! At least not according to my limited monthly funds! Edited by Crazyb0 03/18/2018 1:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff
bandsdean Pillar of the Community United States 2125 Posts	Posted 03/18/2018 2:03 pm Full bold LIBERTY, ribbon separated from curl this coin should make XF. Would like to see more feather detail though. As for the chocolate around Liberty's mouth, it's a distraction but not a deal breaker. It may or may not come off. Original coin for sure IMO.

bologna1 Valued Member United States 54 Posts	Posted 03/18/2018 4:08 pm Well it's in an XF40 holder, but I can't afford an XF price. If I can get if for low VF $ I may try. If not I'll just let it go. Thanks for the opinions. Report this Post to the Staff
T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 03/18/2018 5:50 pm If it's just dirt and crud around mouth and all letters ( ( both sides ),then go ahead and buy or bid on it if the price is right . Acetone and Verdi-care will be beneficial as long as it's not carbon spots which I'm sure it is NOT ! Report this Post to the Staff
