Amazing little recolored IH finds it's way back home

shylock

In a recent thread about SEGS I mentioned a few cross-at-any-grade experiences, the worst of which was an 1880 SEGS MS66RD bought cheap on Yahoo that PCGS rejected and ANACS net graded MS60 Recolored.

We've all heard amazing stories about dogs & cats traveling hundreds of miles to find their way back home. This coin made its way back to SEGS in just a few months, now in a 65 holder. The nic in the O of ONE is the clincher. Don't be fooled by Heritage's darker scan. This coin was expertly dipped, retainly its lustre but turning it a bright yellow/gold tone that couldn't pass the other services.

Shylock do you have a datebase of every HI minted? How do you do this? You are amazing!

There is so much "worked on" copper out there that I have decided to pay only ms-60 brown bid for indians and lincolns,this should minimize my downside.

Paul I recall your first posting on this coin. At the time I thought the owner would have been better off keeping it in the SEGS holder when attempting to cross rather than cracking it out. Possibly the original owner found it and sent it back to SEGS, or maybe he even saw your post. Anyway remind me to stay away from STATELINE COIN EXCHANGE. He sells a good amount of copper on eBay and usually hides behind poor imaging.

It never ceases to amaze me how you can remember all these IHCs.
