I can see them, and they are the most beautiful Indian Head coins, I have seen on this Forum.  especially, that 1879.  |

I see them now {:D] Great coins! Hard for me to grade IHC ms from pics. I was trying to find my variety books, because the 4 on the 1874 looks slightly doubled. |

I agree with atlas for the grades. Nice die crack too. These coins have an absolutly stunning eye appeal.

The date indeed does exhibit some longacre doubling. I examined it awhile ago and was hoping for the rarer variety, but alas, its not the case. I never noticed the die crack until the photos either. They're pretty neat.
More opinions please before I post mine.

Aww man those are nice looking.
I'm not advanced enough to grade accurately but I would agree with the others in here.
Awesome coins though, I just got done searching an old bag full of them that were passed down through the family and found some decent quality coins and a few key dates!

Dude you get some awesome coins. All are high MS (no revelation there)
I agree with shafta9a, that 1879 is amazing, such clean fields, especially the obverse.

ShadowCreator--
Dates on IHCs don't show Longacre doubling because the date was gang-punched independent of the legends.
From what I've read, Longacre doubling occurs because the original die tools for the legends had a shoulder. The 1879 here is a good example.
Depending on how deeply the die was hubbed, some dies show more doubling than others. LD stopped in 1886 when the die tools were revised. So any doubling on the date should be carefully studied. MD isn't very common on IHCs in the date area.

Thanks for the info! I don't know much about this series but I will have to look into it if there is a potential difference of value.
I was surprised at some of the grades people gave. I didn't think the 1874 was MS-65, though I would dream of getting an MS-65 red grade because of the value. And I was also surprised that people said the 1879 was a 63...that's the cleanest coin by a long shot IMO.
My grades:
1879: MS-66+ BN
1874: MS-63-64 RD
1902: MS-65 BN due to the rim chatter, originally MS-66
I didn't pay much for these (bought all as AU) so I'm happy with any unc grade I get to be honest.

I'll tell you what.. ShadowCreator.. if you bought those at AU, you got a really excellent deal. Has your dealer got any more? |

I wish. I just grabbed them off ebay with bad pictures from some guy awhile ago, but he doesn't have any more. BTW I put the 1902 up for sale, if anyone wants to grab it. Edited by coinguybrian
