  • Oy - generally I stay away from Kappy's - they take good pictures, but their raw stuff tends to be overgraded and overhyped - nice people - just a little too much salesmanship.

  • Perhaps the 1902 IHC is a recent addition to an old/abused holder?
  • Obviously someone more recently placed this IHC in this key ring or whatever. I see field spotting above the feathers and photo sharpness seems a bit lax there. Residue? Maybe this area was cleaned a tad bit?

  • I'd vote cleaned - looks like wear on the cheek, eyebrow and the first locks of the hair under the headdress. Also not an MS65 - strike is not sharp enough on the necklace and the ponytail for a 65. Reverse looks to have wear on the highpoints also.

    I think that it's appropriate that the good luck charm comes from a GUANO company! imageimageimage
