This coin at first glance (without a glass) is a super red Indian, But when I get the glass out the obverse specks are obvious (the most troubling is the one near the numeral 1, I took an unflatering pic so you could see the specks). So the question is would you run from a red proof Indian cent no obvious hairlines but some specks @ $150 ?

My answer: YES, run Forest run.
Just wondering what you guys think

    I would agree, run. The spots are unappealing almost no matter what the price, if I am looking to add it to my collection. If I could get it for practically nothing and plan to sell it at a significant discount due to the spots, and still make a profit, that's a diff thing.

    Forget the "specks" - the coin looks dipped or otherwise unoriginal/wrong in color.image

    I'd run away fast, I hate carbon spots on copper.

    Too many spots on the obverse.

    It's ugly but for $150 the price is right.
