    i'm curious who graded that MS63?? i'm reading some rubbed areas from that photo


    AU??


    and no, at that level it would not be worth the price you quoted

    Looks like a weak strike in areas, but I'd give NCS a shot at it.
  • Closer to $350 -- 400

    The reason I say that is I look at having all my Indians graded at PCGS and I think that piece may have a hard time crossing over. JMHO

    I would not buy that coin. The 1859 IHC is not a tough type to obtain without substantial problems.

    I agree... There are frequently many nice examples on the market That example is not nice.

    If you're interested in an example that looks AU, you should only spend AU money for it.

    Why buy a problem coin when more are out there.

    In comparison, here's my 1859. I grade it AU-58 but while it was in plastic NGC graded it MS-61:

    Even without the spots, I would look for a better struck example.
