johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 07/27/2011 12:04 am I posted this on the CU forums, I was shocked at how many people thought this was graded F12-F15. Even a couple who have said these seen ones like this in VF slabs! Wow, I guess this coin can fall hard to grade-flation. There are treasures to be found in the lower tier slabs. I may have to crack this one out and submit to a different TPG. Compare mine to this PCGS F-15. http://cgi.ebay.com/1877-Indian-Hea...em2a10388fba Report this Post to the Staff

Quote: The problem with collecting keys for me though, is now that I have the biggest key, I may be more easily convinced to try and complete a set...;-P decisions, decisions... I recommend it John! I have a Dansco set of these going with the 1877,1871,1872,1874 & 08-S out of the way. The 1866-1870 are also going to cost you a little. I'm making it easy and staying away from the varieties, just a date set. The 1909-S should also be certified. Lots of added S mm's. I may have an extra IHC Dansco brand new in my cabinet. Let me get home and look John swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

Yeah, I have been looking at certified 1909-s too....that would probably be the next target(though it won't be for a little while since I'm broke now..lol). I'm kind of with you though, I like to get the keys first. Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 07/28/2011 3:35 pm Ah, I thought it was an IHC Dansco John. Turns out, it was a Liberty nickel Dansco brand new. I guess I bought it thinking I was going to start that set :o Are you going to Long Beach in September? If not, I can always pick one up for you :) That 09-S is on my list too, probably a VG-F example. I will be picky on this one. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 07/28/2011 9:14 pm Thanks for looking Dave! I had not planned on going, but I should look into that. I received the coin, and it is very nice in hand. The pictures represent it well. The liberty is weak, but I can still make out shadows of most of the letters. What I really like about it is the fact that the upper obverse rim is strong, as it appears weak on most other examples. The surfaces are VERY pristine for the grade The only bummer part is the slab is scratched all over the place. I can only make out a few small marks even under the glass. I think I may have to bust this out of the ICG slab and send it to another TPG. Here is another F-15 from NGC, I don't know how they graded it this high... http://cgi.ebay.com/1c-penny-1877-I...em2a1162874f Report this Post to the Staff

vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 07/29/2011 04:16 am Here is one on the opposite side. This coin is gorgeous although, I personally do not care for proof coins. I like the biz strikes Not to say this coin is just incredible Oh yeah, Rare Coin Wholesalers with 4 offers, all declined http://cgi.ebay.com/1877-INDIAN-BRO...em2a107c4481 swcoin.ecrater.com Edited by vermontensium 07/29/2011 04:18 am Report this Post to the Staff
