http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...310051459298Unfortunately I don't have gray sheet with me, but I did see a PCGS AU55 sell on Heritage for $400. I was a bit scetchy because ususally BIN coins on ebay are way overpriced. Notice the filled 6, it looks to me like a die break. My eyes can't see what the seller claims to be doubling on the united. I know next to nothing about errors, so perhaps someone can interpret those things. I'm not a big Indian cent guru, but I (think) this one is considered semi-key? In that case, are these minor errors considered a negative? I personally like them but I also like resaleability. ebay sent me a 10% off coupon, so the overall price will be $346.50 plus a few bucks for shipping. Being brutally honest, please give me your opinion on how I did pricewise. Thanks! Sean

Nice coin!  The price seems reasonable as Rick Snow's retail price sheet lists AU55 at $400. However, I think the die break through the date would bring up collector interest--and value. That's a great place for a break!  The "doubling" in UNITED is nothing more than "Longacre outlines", and happpens to many IHCs up to 1886. |

Nice coin! Good price too I'd say. I'm waiting for a couple of Snow's books. Can't wait!

m9, can you tell me about this book? My subscription to gray sheet ran out and I'm going to re-subscribe when I get back to Bragg.

I'm no IHC guru either, I'm starting to get hooked on em though. Lots of variety, sort of affordable, great history, well documented, nice look. |

now comes the hard part:
Cherrypick the L as a regular one.
Yes, it can be done, I have cherried nine of them so far, including one, recently, a VF-30 (my grade) with a 1902 in VG for the massive sum of $46.52.
so, yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus, if you know what you are looking for.

On the reverse at about 11:00, is that a notch missing from the edge? Or is that something wacky with the picture? I don't see the same on the bottom side of the obverse.

mklpatrick, that's a tiny flake of plastic from the slab. Also, I'm selling this one already from what I paid. I thought there was a slot in my type set for the 64-L, but there's not. I was going to crack it out and put it in there.

Oh yeah I see...guess my depth perception is off.
How do you store your set?

It's a Dansco type set (I think) 7070. I love the coin but I'm disappointed that I paid for an L when I didn't need to. They have a slot for a "VDB Lincoln", so I just assumed they had one for the "L Indian." I would have much rather spent the money on two nice common dates or a tougher type coin.
