What grade would you place on this coin.

[jesbroken]

Hello all,

I am preparing to go to sell my Indian Head collection and would like some final grading help on this particular coin. 1899. Beautiful toning-absolutely beautiful. What do you think this would grade?

Thanks

Jes

Well just going by this obverse, which is a little small and dark, I would claim to say AU50 depending on the reverse is as good detail.

EF-40, maybe 45.

Maybe just the image but I'm not sure the color is right.

The fields bother me a bit as well. Just my opinion.

I'm not certain that I like the color, either, and the piece is fairly scuffy for the remaining details.

my opinion is it may make EF40. The image is small so it is hard to see the tips of the feathers, ribbon, etc. the coin looks like it took a dip and got recolored. I do not really like it, sorry.

Thanks to all who offered opinions, Shucks and I was sure it was an AU and I thought that it was beautifully toned, go figure. Obviously not the indian head cent savant I thought. ha.

thanks again gang- you've saved me some embarrassment. Jes
