That is a very nice acquisition. I like the luster..... Cheers, RickO
And so my decades long streak of opening every thread with "$10 Gold Indian" in the title continues.
Nice coin.
The one $10 Indian I purchased was in an ICG holder and within a year it turned in the holder due to being puttied.
Lesson learned and I'm hoping to come home from a show soon with one as nice as yours.

Interesting. I thought ICG was pretty good about catching that sort of thing. Have you sent it back to them for correction?

I've seen many NGC and PCGS slabs with puttied gold coins. The putty takes time to turn chalky white with a blue tinge within the slab. It's normally put on the coin just before the coin is submitted for grading and it's not visible until several month later. It's done to hide hairlines that would otherwise limit the grade assigned.

No, I traded it in, warts and all, on a colonial note and came out of it with a not too costly lesson. FWIW I took an ANA grading class and I brought the coin along since I was noticing something. The teacher looked and said "It looks fine".
This is how it looked when I traded it in

I see a little of what might be putty on your coin. In any event, putty is easily removable with a quick dip.

Didn’t you know if you feed them they will follow you home.
Is it in the obverse fields? I see a few dots there.
There are some cloudy areas in the obverse fields which might be putty.

Nice eagle @santinidollar - looks very lustrous.
I purchased one this weekend, too, a 1932. I'll post it in a new thread so as to not hijack yours.
