tlsweet Valued Member United States 111 Posts	Posted 08/11/2011 3:37 pm I've attempted to grade these by myself using the infomation on indiancent.com, but, would welcome some of your opinions to see how closely I've read his descriptions. I purchased a roll of Indian cents and wheaties. These are a couple of the better ones I'm excited about. 1906This is a pretty light brown and it has a small amount of shine to it. The red copper color that is coming through isn't chipped. The surface is smooth. Not sure if this is important or not. ******************************************************************* 1899** Teena Report this Post to the Staff

tlsweet Valued Member United States 111 Posts	Posted 08/11/2011 4:57 pm Could the 1899 be a grade higher due to the fact that it does have some diamond markings left on the ribbon? Report this Post to the Staff

fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 08/11/2011 10:24 pm I will say VF-35 for both Report this Post to the Staff
beaglebailey Pillar of the Community United States 716 Posts	Posted 08/12/2011 10:12 am I think VF-35 on both coins. Lower curl is connected to ribbon on both coins. I think both are nice coins for the grade. Report this Post to the Staff
tlsweet Valued Member United States 111 Posts	Posted 08/13/2011 10:41 am Where do you get pricing for the VF 35? I use numismedia, RedBook, and the grey sheet. Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 08/13/2011 1:21 pm I think both are up there around VF30-35. Perhaps the 1906 is a good comparison of VF30 to VF35 on the 1899? Report this Post to the Staff

But, where do you find these grades? Red Book & Numismedia do not list the grades in between. Report this Post to the Staff
