Never mention how I got started collecting coins, but that's another story. I got this many years ago as a teenager, waited ages before I submitted to NGC, and that years. I found this as I was going through my collection to sell, and it bring back memories. So... What grade would you give it? Scratches on reverse are from the holder.   |

Hmmmm...it looks MS to me, so I think I'll break from the pack and go with MS64BN

Too many dings on the obverse for mint state.. so I'll say AU-50.  |

AU-55 Obverse, MS-64 Reverse. Obverse die seems to have been overused. I do see rub on the curl, but its those diamonds that lack the sharpness.

Dings have nothing to do with a coin being MS or not.
I'd say AU55.

Full disclosure here - I'm an amateur and have no expertise with grading - especially on Indian cents. I'll say AU-53. I'll be interested to see where this one comes out. |

I will post the result tonight!
Images may not be the best condition, but that's the best I can shooting through slab.

Knowing nothing about IHC I should not even try but you have to learn sometime. I agree that there appears to be slight wear on the curl over the ear and on the top two feathers. If this can be caused by strike, this is a MS coin. If not, and with the marks on the obverse I am going AU-55. Jim |

I'll go with MS-60. The obverse is slightly weak specifically in the diamonds but they seem to over-grade abit.

I'll say the slight amount of wear and very minor dings leave this beautiful IHC at AU 55. |

I'm on the fence between AU58 and MS64-65. Hard to see rub on pics.
Gust of wind just knocked me on AU58BN side of fence.
