1907 Indian head cent

[Bugmann1974]

What do you guys think this will grade? It has one contact mark that I noticed next to the UN in united. It looks to be well struck and has great toning. It has no rub that I noticed, no hairlines and has 100% luster under the toning. It has a wee bit of the funky green on the left rim of the reverse but will be shortly getting an acetone bath.

 

Does it bag? Is there anything I am missing? Possible star candidate?

 

Straight on shots

 

When tilted it looks like this.

 

This shot of the obverse shows the details a little bit better.

I would say from the photos that it should make MS-64, brown.

If it grades I agree with Bill, but I also wouldn't be surprised with a bodybag for Questionable toning.

physics is right on. Potential star if it grades

There's a corrosion spot on the left reverse rim that bothers me a little, but MS-64 BN seems about right.

If it receives a grade, as opposed to a no-grade, I don't think the grade will make it worth the grading fee and postage charges that you will incur.

The color is attactive but for five or six years I've shied away from blue coins with a "greasy" appearance. This can be evidence of a blue ribbon or ms70 treatment. MS70 can turn the brown areas of an rb coin to a pinkish blue and that's what I think I'm seeing here.

 

At the various angles I see what looks like evidence of a liquid treatment from the staining patterns. The last obverse photo is the giveaway if you look up underneath STATES. I'm also uncomfortable with the five or six verdigris patches along the rim from 8 oclock to 1oclock. PCGS will not grade it, NGC might.

 

IF NGC grades it I'd see it in a 64RB or 64BN holder.

 

I have lots of blue coins, but I don't buy them anymore, PCGS has taken all of the fun out of them for me.
