The cops may be looking for you, because I think you stole this coin. The face appears grainy, but the legends and devices are all very clear and full with no chips or gouges, although more luster would enhance value. Seriously, I think the Indian was full of gunk before it got a much needed cleaning, which doesn't bother me one bit, I still like the pretty penny, I see it a VF30 and worth $30.

Good price , but obverse rim would haunt me . A little more reverse crud might come off with Acetone and or Verdi-Care .  |

EF-40, not a coin I would buy due to the obverse rim.

EF-45, maybe even 50 sharpness, but that rim details it for me.

The bottom serif in the N in CENT looks like a clown boot. I was thinking that the serif did not have enough metal to blow out that large due to normal hits and initially questioned authenticity. Thoughts? Thanks!

XF45. to me the coin looks like it was cleaned. the rim issues may or may not be PMD which would add to the details designation. |

I agree with the concern over that rim. Almost looks like removed from jewelry as a possibility.
Since this is your last (first) post on the coins you've purchased recently I have to throw a few thoughts into the pool.
If you added up the money you spent on these coins, all of which are exceptionally common in the grades displayed, you would have enough to buy a single really gorgeous coin.
Perhaps you are trying to assemble an EF coin set, or maybe you simply like lots of old coins. But when you look at your albums years from now, none of these coins are going to jump out at you.
None of these coins are going to make you say WOW - I love that coin. You might wish to consider spending your "wad" on a single gorgeous (in your opinion) babe.
That type of coin will give you much greater pride of ownership rather than lots of less valuable common old "stuff".
At least that is what works for me.

I agree completely with Moxking.
This is going to sound harsh, but it is an observation I made. You seem to buy a lot of low price, low quality coins instead of using that same money to get a nice higher grade, problem free, example.
For me, at least, quality comes before quantity. I could have 1000 problem coins or 10 nice ones. I'd definitely go for the 10 quality coins. IMO.

Appreciate your thoughts. I am long past doing what other people are doing and would rather do what I like to do myself. If I like it I will buy it.  |

Thanks Monty, but I've tried many times to change his buying habits . He buys what he likes and there's no changing his mind . Just go with it .  |

That's what this hobby is about, buying what you like. If you are strictly an investor, then it's a different story.

Likely late die state. Obv weaker than rev. EF45 but little eye appeal.
