Any decent raw 1874 IHCs out there?

I noticed my Dad looking around Ebay for an upgrade of his 1874. His is not very good, so something in the F-XF area would be great. I trust the forum members more than Ebay. PM me or reply here with a price and pic if possible. Thank you in advance!

About a year ago, I picked up a nice raw one from my local coin shop. Very nice original coin with zero issues. And, I got it for a great price. I really could not be happier with it. But, like many Indian Head Cents from that era, they are quite tough to find problem-free. I am quite picky with what I want in my album and it has taken me several years to put my set together. I only need four more coins to complete my set. Each coin grades between VF and AU, except for my 1877, which is a Fine. But, I am still very happy with my collection of IHC.

My Dad completed his IHC in lower grades and is now looking to upgrade some of them. He doesnt have patience to look for the right coin...lol I bought him an 1877 last year that was VG from someone on here........I dont remember who it was though......lol

Is it just me, or are decent 1874's hard to come by?
Many slabbed ones even look like dreck.

Edited: It seems to me that many slabbed ones are overgraded.

I found the coin difficult to locate in true AU, it seems to be a sleeper date.
Chaz - I think I may have several in the F-XF grade that I'll check for tonight.
