1888 Indian Cent

If you like the color of hardwood furiture made from light colored wood such as birch, ash, and some oaks then you will love this coin. The reverse looks like the furniture I have just described only unlike furniture this coin will not just sit there in your collection cause this lady has a lot of eye appeal. The reverse alone is BU the obverse is not and it would look AU-58 to most people but I give the coin an AU-55+ cause I can see five light marks in the left obverse field, cheek and neck combined. You have to your loupe to see these and as I had said they are marks NOT scratches but since I can technically mesure then with a ruler --- five light marks like that I would not grade a coin MS-64 or MS-65 and since AU-58 is either one of those grades with a tiny bit of wear now you understand how arrive at AU-55+. All of the diamonds show full detail on the ribbon except for the second one from the top which shows half detail. Don't overlook this beautiful coin. She has much better eye appeal than some MS-63s I have seen. (Stock #01c1888155 Three & One Half Diamonds LZGRXV)
