1898 Indian Head Cent- Grade Opinions Please!

[Deerefan8420]

Found this coin hiding out in a roll of Lincoln cents a while back. Copper is not my strong point yet, so I thought I would ask what you guys thought of this piece. Thanks in advance!

hey Justin. Nice find! That coin looks AU to me

[ldhair]

Nice image. I'll go AU as well.

[BillJones]

I'd grade it AU-50. It's got a couple of spots, but I think that it just makes it under the wire for an AU.

[johnny9434]

ill go au as well.

[coinman_23885]

It looks AU55 to me, but take my opinion with a grain of salt (I don't have many AU pieces).

[copper toning]

I would say AU55

[Coindude]

Definitely a nice piece. If Bill says 50 I'm being it's at least 55! And 55 was my first thought. Nice picture btw.

AU 55 but it should get knocked down a bit for the 3 spots.

That is why I graded it AU-50.

AU 50. Great find. Looks to have some purple toning. I can also see some original red around the shield. Very sweet coin.

a little corrosion and a little paint on top of a copper cleaner, cleaned

coin. but otherwise; call it AU-55 Details.

 

[Deerefan8420]

Thanks for the opinions everyone! I'm in the AU camp as well but since I do not have as much experience with copper coins, I thought I would get some opinions here.

I'm not quite sure I understand your assessment. Could you explain in further detail please?

Don't know what you are saying.
