nolawyer Pillar of the Community United States 763 Posts	Posted 11/23/2009 1:59 pm Thanks for your opinions. I definitely agree that the 1907 is in VF even though the seller had it marked as EF. I am curious as to where you are seeing the wear on the 1897 coin? I'm not doubting you - I'm just trying to learn. I'm new to Indian Head cents. Report this Post to the Staff

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 11/23/2009 7:40 pm I think AU58+ and VF30+ Both just miss the next level. Report this Post to the Staff

I'm also looking at the curl right behind the ribbon on the obverse. Looks like very slight wear (i.e. high AU) to me. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
