Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 09/26/2018 6:30 pm This 1906 Indian Head cent came in today's mail. Lots of luster, brown surfaces with a little mint red, violet and blue toning and a bit of the woodgrain thing going on on the reverse. There is a thin mark in the field in front of the Indian's face. The shiny spot at the 7:00 obverse rim is light reflection off of a tiny rim mark. The reverse has just a bit of rotation from the obverse alignment. Paul Bulgerin Edited by Paul Bulgerin 09/26/2018 6:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 09/26/2018 11:19 pm Thanks for the responses so far. I bought this coin for $25 with the intention of flipping it, but after receiving it, I have decided to keep it. It's a case of a coin that looks much nicer "in hand" than in the enlarged photos. The mark in front of the face is not visible unless you tilt the coin. The light I used to photograph it makes it stand out much more than it does. Also the bright spot at 7:00, a very slight rim mark, is hardly visible to the naked eye. I think the luster and colors are quite nice. Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18654 Posts	Posted 09/27/2018 09:42 am I can see this one at MS62BN. I think the scratch isn't that noticeable. remember this is really blown up, my guess is that its not as visible in hand and would not pull a details designation. I think the rim nick is more distracting than that but again not enough to details it Report this Post to the Staff
