Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 12/12/2020 4:52 pm I picked up this 1893 Indian. It has a nice red and brown color with lots of luster and four full diamonds. The spot on the cheek is toning and not rub. Your thoughts about it are welcome. Thanks. Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 12/12/2020 5:54 pm I lean toward AU-58 as well, but 63BN or so would not surprise me. Edited by Coinfrog 12/12/2020 6:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6383 Posts	Posted 12/12/2020 11:03 pm Looks MS to me, with good luster and red-brown color (like the title says). MS-64 RB seems possible. Report this Post to the Staff
Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 12/12/2020 11:13 pm As I am always trying to learn, for those who see it as AU-58, where do you see the wear? Is it on the cheek, tips of the feathers, the reverse ribbons? Thanks. Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff
Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 12/13/2020 12:11 am To me, obverse cheek, ribbon and hair, reverse lower portion of the wreath (leaves, ribbon and arrow heads) show light signs of circulation. Fields do look relatively clean. Looking at it again I could possibly see 63 as CF said. In hand this one may be more obvious. Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18649 Posts	Posted 12/13/2020 12:25 pm tough call on this one. I can see at AU58 but I'm not 100% convinced its not MS. Report this Post to the Staff
Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 12/13/2020 1:37 pm Thanks for all the replies. After giving it a good look over with my 10x loupe, I don't think it has any wear, but I'm not 100% sure about the cheek. I think the spot there is toning, but it is a little flat on the cheek. The fields are very clean with no slide marks or anything like that. I got it along with an 1857 Flying Eagle cent for $35, so I'm not into it for much money. It is a lot nicer than the seller's photos showed. Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff
