WTB: 1908-S Indian Head Cent graded PCGS G4 for grading set!! [UPDATED 5/20/10]

Geoman · May 30, 2009 3:52PM

I am putting together a grading set of 1908-S Indian Head Cents. I am just starting, so I will need all possible grades. I need these to be graded by PCGS, and in the blue label holders. For now, I will work on the circulated grades and get the MS grades later. Please PM me if you have any of the listed grades below for this date and if you are willing to sell/trade. I do realize the low grades will be harder to find, and I may need to "make" a few at PCGS myself. Thanks!

[..........Updated 5/20/10............] I am looking for an G4, which will complete the circulated coins. Thanks!

Grades needed:
1908-S IHC PCGS G4

Ok, I do realize the pop of this coin in this grade is only 3, so I will probably end up making it myself. However, I am also offering to pay $250 for a 1908-S IHC graded PCGS G4. So if you think you have one that will grade - submit it and if it grades G4, I'll pay you $250 for it! Good luck!

Grades I have:
1908-S IHC PCGS G6 (Teletrade)
1908-S IHC PCGS VG8 (Teletrade)
1908-S IHC PCGS VG10 (eBay)
1908-S IHC PCGS F12 (PCGS Board Member)
1908-S IHC PCGS F15 (PCGS Board Member)
1908-S IHC PCGS VF20 (PCGS Board Member)
1908-S IHC PCGS VF25 (PCGS Board Member)
1908-S IHC PCGS VF30 (eBay)
1908-S IHC PCGS VF35 (eBay)
1908-S IHC PCGS EF40 (Made this one myself)
1908-S IHC PCGS EF45 (MOON Coin Show)
1908-S IHC PCGS AU50 (PCGS Board Member)
1908-S IHC PCGS AU53 (PCGS Board member) ............pending..............
1908-S IHC PCGS AU55 (eBay)
1908-S IHC PCGS AU58 (eBay)

Many thanks to the board members - so far I have bought 6 coins from you!!

Grades needed:
1908-S IHC PCGS FR2
1908-S IHC PCGS AG3
1908-S IHC PCGS G4
>>

FYI, the FR2 and the AG3 don't exist in a PCGS holder (yet). And there's only 3 G4's that exist in PCGS holders and I have one

Good luck!!

Yep, those lower grades will be tough. I found a VG-8, but I am guessing I will have to "make" anything lower than that.

Anyone have anything to offer??? Thanks!

Thanks to those who have sent PMs and either offered some to me or pointed out where some can be found. I have been lucky so far and have 4 of these on the way, and leads on several more. As expected, the lower grades will be the hardest to find, as I haven't seen any out there graded lower than VG-8. I am really searching for a VG-10 right now, so if you have one in that grade please let me know.

Also, I need a 1981 US Mint set so I can pull the SBA out of the set. Here is the thread on that. Please PM me if you have an 1981 US Mint set for sale for reasonable. Thanks!

Edited: 1981 US Mint Set is pending....

Got a good start, still looking for nice chocolate brown examples without any dark carbon spotting. I am especially interested in any grades lower than EF. Thanks!

Geoman · June 14, 2009 8:16AM

ttt - especially looking for the lower grades (VG-10, VF-20 and VF-20). Thanks!

ttt - still looking; plan to submit a couple low grades ones to see if I can make a G4 and a G6. Thanks!

Geoman · July 8, 2009 4:50AM

Picked up a PCGS VG10 yesterday. The EF and AU's are readily available; but I am still looking for a nice and reasonably priced VF20.

Please PM me if you have a PCGS VF20 you are willing to sell. Thanks - half of the coins have been obtained from PCGS forum members!

Geoman · October 24, 2009 12:08PM

Picked up a G6 on Teletrade this past Sunday.

Also picked up a XF40 and XF45 at the MOON coin show last weekend.

Looking for a VF20, plus the very hard to get (pop = 3) G4. Thanks!

Geoman · November 4, 2009 2:10AM

Got the VF20 from a board member! Thanks!

Now I am looking for the AU53, AU55 and AU58. I know these grades are pretty common on eBay and Teletrade, but would prefer to buy from forum members. Thanks!

Got the VF20 from a board member! Thanks!

Your welcome! I also got it from another board member several months back as part of a group transaction. Good luck on the remaining grades and I'm sure it will be a cool set once done.

Maybe I should say you're welcome as well then

When do we get to see some pics of the set??? With the exception of maybe finding an MS64BN for my 1908-S set, I'm done. Not trying to go any higher than MS64RD and I'm not up for the leg work/expense of finding and then making the AG3 or lower coins that don't yet exist.

Good luck

Two of the twelve coins I have already came up TrueView photos. I wish I was closer to Baltimore, as I would take them and get the remaining ten photographed. It's a junk of money, but I would like to have them all photographed. Maybe I will ask someone else on the forum.

Again, many thanks go out to several forum members.

illini420 - if I make a AG3, it's going in my set. If I make a second one, it's yours!

ttt for the new year.

Still am searching for these - and would like to get the AU53 and AU58 in the next month or so. Please PM me if you have one in that grade in a newer blue PCGS labeled holder and maybe we can make a deal. Thanks!

Remember, if you find a nice looking example that is in a green holdler don't necessarily pass it up since you could always pay the $10 to have it reholdered to match your set.

ttt - another push to finish this set. Paying $250 for a 1908-S Indian Head Cent in PCGS G4. Thanks!

As you know, the G04 is really a pop 2 from your perspective since I have one and I'm keepin' it

But dang it Bill.... with that sort of price you're really tempting me!!!!!

By the way, if someone here tries to make a G04 and just happens to miss the mark and end up with an AG03 or lower, I'd be interested in one of those
