Picked this up for $8. Thoughts on grade and problems? Thanks!

That is quite a wide spread between xf45 and au58. 13 points / 5 grades.

AU55 sharpness and very original. Heck of a deal for $6 -- put her in some Verdi-Care and see if the surfaces come back to life.

This came in, and the seller sent me the wrong coin. He sent me a 1907 Indian cent. I contacted seller to clarify and he offered to send the correct coin, and I could keep this one. He probably did not want to pay for the return postage. I will update again when the right coin shows up. What do you think this one grades?

GREAT DEAL! 1907 looks XF-45 at least. 1906 looks AU-53. Both very nice!

The seller sent the original coin which actually looked really nice. I decided to give it an acetone dip and some green areas popped out after the acetone. I gave it a verdi-care treatment and it turned back to nice and lustrous. I think this is my best conservation experience yet.

This is how the coin came:

1906-Indian-Head-Cent-#2---Verdi-Care-Success!
1906-Indian-Head-Cent-#2---Verdi-Care-Success!

This is what it looked like after the acetone bath:

1906-Indian-Head-Cent-#2---Verdi-Care-Success!
1906-Indian-Head-Cent-#2---Verdi-Care-Success!

And this is what they ended up looking like after the verdi-care treatment.

Excellent job! I'm surprised how much worse the acetone made it look.
