As this is a IHC, there are two sticker possibilities. If you think there’s none, one or two, please include with your grade assessment. The big reveal is tonight. Top two pics are True Views, 3&4 are mine. Before @winesteven asks, the True Views more accurately depict the coin this time around. Gotcha Steve!

I agree with 65RB. Love the longacre effect.

MS64 brown. Just a few too many small marks in the obverse field to go 65. 30 or so years ago it would have been called RB but today I think it will be called brown.

My initial thought was ms64 because of the obv chatter, and Im not well versed with color designations but i'd rather buy that as a BN than a RB.

64 (edited to BN), but I don’t believe in guessing on stickers when there’s no assigned grade involved.

65BN, no idea on the stickers
No one does, since we don’t know the grade upon which a sticker decision would be rendered. For that matter, no one even knows if or where the coin was even tried for a sticker. Anyone who guesses correctly is the beneficiary of good luck.

I'm a Morgan collector so what do I know.
My guess is 64 Brown CAC
If it's a 65 no sticker.
Very nice coin though. I do like the color.

Easy gem. I'm at 65, as well.
First and most importantly @rnkmyer1 , yes, you got me, lol, as indeed I would have asked you which sets color was closer to the coin in hand.
I’ll go with the minority color choice, RB, since even though the closer color of the TV’s are “dark”, my guess is there’s enough red on the coin in hand to exceed the 5% required minimum to be categorized as RB.
I’ll go with 64 on the numerical grade. I’ll guess that it double stickered, getting Rick’s Photo Seal mainly due to the strong strike.
But here’s the more important question: knowing your old Small Cent sets are “high end”, why would YOU own a 64 or 65 BN or RB coin?

Hi Steve -
Good question, as usual. I only started Registry IHC’s when I realized I had a lot of RD’s among the BN & RB toners. As you know, RD’s score the highest & to many, are “purist” copper as far as color. So, I kept going until I eventually had high RD % sets & retired them. But, I always liked toners & just continued with nice ones of those after I retired the RD dominated sets.

It would be great to have a set of all the affordable Indians in ms64 Brown, if they were as nice as yours.

@DoubleEagle59: absolutely agree! Many of the BN’s have nice toning, so that would make such a set extra special.

That's right us Morgan guys do have to stick together.
Very nice coin.
What does EEPS mean?
I want to buy one of these someday. Something with this kind of eye appeal would suit me just fine.

EEPS = Eagle Eye Photo Seal (Rick Snow)
I did not get a guess in but I would have said 65/66
That is a really nice 64
@Morgan13: EEPS is abbreviated Eagle Eye Photo Seal. The acknowledged foremost expert in the Indian Head & Flying Eagle cent series is Rick Snow. He uses that sticker designation for those coins in those two series he considers outstanding for the assigned TPG grade. For many specialists in those series, the EEPS has greater or at least equal weight to CAC. In the slab pic above you will see it over the gold shield.
Btw, I should acknowledge your participation & input in a coin you’re not exactly comfortable with. Much appreciated!
