Graded MS65RB with CAC and Photoseal. Rick thinks it should be in a full red holder and said he would consider sticker if it in MS66. I truly believe it is the finest known and looks better than the 65RDs in past auctions.

A day without fine wine and working on your coin collection is like a day without sunshine!!!
Super nice cent! Interesting clash mark of kind of coin across the 'E' on the reverse. Do you have a possibility of what kind of coin it could be from?

Yes it was an off centered die clash with the obverse Indian Cent that was somehow done before the die was made. It is one of the most collectible varieties in the series. If you look around the shield, you can make out some of the obverse lettering.
This variety also has a minor Doubled Die obverse, primarily visible on some letters of LIBERTY.

I have a number of double stickered coins from Rick, this might be the only Indian Cent though. There are a bunch of small cent patterns that I have double stickered.

I am in agreement @redraider, that 1880 looks red to me and an attention-getter for sure. Wowzas!

I’ll be hanging around my IHC exhibit today from around 10:30 am until 2:00 pm, when I must leave that area since that’s when the Judges start. I cannot return until late morning on Friday, when the Judges finish. I think a few forum members may be meeting at my exhibit Friday at 2:00 pm.
Make sure to see all of the exhibits, and then vote for the exhibit you like best for The People’s Choice Award.

I picked up this rather worn little Indian last night. This might be one of the coins I'm most excited about, from a historic perspective. It doesn't look like much but here's why I find it fascinating. It's a VF-35 with a reeded edge (J-300 Pattern - slabbed). I just think about the time this coin must have spent in circulation and without anyone noticing the reeded edges enough to pull it out.

That’s a cool one! It went for a very fair price IMO, congrats! I was able to snag an IHC pattern in the same auction last night. I was a bidder on another that got too rich for my blood, but it was a very rare example.
I found a Judd-300 in the wild last year, marked as a regular proof. It graded at PCGS PF65!
@redraider - congrats on your purchase as well, a couple of those pattern IHC's were a little to rich for my blood as well. Must be very exciting to find a coin like that in the wild!

Here is the one I was able to purchase. Its the Judd-356b variety.
It is interesting and noteworthy. Very few of these were struck on a thin Copper-Nickel planchet. What I loved about this example is the visible lithe lines on the obverse. This die was the same die that struck the 1864 Bronze no L Snow-11 variety.

Unfortunately, those are the sellers pics and not mine. The coin inhand is truly not near that bad looking. The closeup is my photo, but cannot seem to find my inhand photos of the whole obv/rev. There are quite a few of the IHC's that bear looking. Until I bought Rick Snow's books some 10 years ago or so, I knew of very few. Good luck.

Bought this coin from Gerry Fortin last summer. Nothing better than a full red IHC, however I could never afford even a handful of full red coins. And I am not a fan of many of the RB coins and the uneven toning that many have, so I tend to stick to BN designated IHC's. This one does have a touch of fireball red on the rev.

Happy New Year! I was looking for a coin to enter into an ugly contest! Anyone else have ugly IHC's?
I don't know where to begin describing this '68, ucky:
Bad, bad '65 Fancy 5:
Caked-on uglies for this '78:
The Reverse of this '07... a spotted owl!

I love the color on that coin.

Here is a local coin shop find NEWP. A raw RB choice unc. 1868:
Many of this date are replete with DDO's and the like. The U in UNITED looks recut perhaps along with some other minor lettering adjustments.

It was post Christmas and post Birthday.
It was a surprise win. I opened the bidding without putting a Max bid, then forgot about it. Apparently I was the only one to make a bid.
