vermontensium Moderator United States 16677 Posts	Posted 07/26/2011 11:23 pm Just my 2 cents but I would not touch this coin for even $50, let alone the current bid http://cgi.ebay.com/1877-INDIAN-HEA...em19c7209654 swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

IHPO8S Valued Member United States 374 Posts	Posted 07/26/2011 11:38 pm appears to be a dug coin. I agree key or not I won't buy a problem coin. Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 07/26/2011 11:43 pm The reverse looks like the surface of the moon! I'm not sure there's enough detail to even confirm authenticity. To quote Rick Snow..."There is no price too cheap for a problem coin." Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16677 Posts	Posted 07/26/2011 11:48 pm I do own a couple problem key date coins but, the problems are miniscule compared to this. This is just way too destroyed to even be collectible IMO. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

vermontensium Moderator United States 16677 Posts	Posted 07/27/2011 01:25 am Ah, your right :-) I rescued a 1908-S IHC that has small pits all over it, in fact, it's filling that hole in my Dansco for now :o I would have rescued this one too if the price was right :P swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
rachums107 Pillar of the Community United States 3345 Posts	Posted 07/27/2011 09:26 am Ouch. But I'd spend $50 if it was a BIN Report this Post to the Staff
Bizybackson Pillar of the Community United States 1817 Posts	Posted 07/27/2011 11:01 am At least the '77 is visible and plain to see, if it was just the '18' it's anybody's guess as to which of the '70's IHC it is, I usually love them either as FR-2/AG-3 or BU BN/RB, but this coin is too damaged for my low grade set. It would be a nice filler for someone though. Report this Post to the Staff

Actually I've seen photos of the Moon that looked a lot nicer than that coin. Presently 13 bids and up to $136.27? I wonder if the seller has a lot of friends placing those bets.

vermontensium Moderator United States 16677 Posts	Posted 07/27/2011 4:19 pm Very odd how the reverse rim just disappears and those raised lumps. Definitely suspect. What is the buyer going to do with it? Does not look like it will fit in a Dansco slot. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
symphonic5 New Member United States 43 Posts	Posted 07/27/2011 5:44 pm I can see the appeal of filling those holes with genuine coins, even if they are problem examples. For the right price of course. Report this Post to the Staff
penny man Pillar of the Community United States 659 Posts	Posted 07/27/2011 11:13 pm Whoever bought could easily sell it again and get about the smae price; I would buy that coin if I was really desperate... Report this Post to the Staff
coinut Valued Member United States 362 Posts	Posted 07/27/2011 11:18 pm Wow! I CAN NOT believe ANYONE would spend that much on such a horrible coin. Report this Post to the Staff

It almost looks like it was pushed into a pitted surface. Are those fresh scratches across the N in ONE? It's a terrible coin, if real. Report this Post to the Staff
