    Love the toning on the 1903! it earned every bit of that golden CAC sticker. Color is also quite nice on the proof. I really like blue proof cents.

    Beautiful pennies! That brown proof is especially nice, and I agree about the 1903 gold CAC - I can't see why it's only MS62. Great coins!

    My thoughts: I'm glad that the Doctor did not think my mole gone wild on my neck was cancerous. He thinks
    it just a rapidly growing age spot and not a mole at all! Cut it off and we'll get the results in a week or so.
    But, I was a happy camper about 3:30 today!

    Now, those are my thoughts, which coin are you sending along? Any penny will do, and thanks if I forget to
    say so after it arrives.

    PM for address.

    On the 03 in 2, If it was raw, and from that pic alone I'd say 58 rinsed. The rest look good. But I'm not an IH guy so I've surely missed a few deals. that will be one cent, Pp fineimage

    Those were my thoughts too, but perhaps less areas looking like rub on the coin in hand.

    The first 1903 looks like an AU to me. It does absolutely nothing for me.

    The first one with the gold CAC sticker doesn't do a thing for me. I would have been hard pressed to have given it a green CAC sticker.

    The second one is my kind of copper coin. It has a eye appeal and the right color for the metal.

    The third is okay, but I don't bust my gut to buy pieces with the look. I'll buy them as Proofs if there is a lot of luster under the toning.

    Concurred, particularly the gold sticker one.

    Why did the first coin get a gold sticker?

    The 1886 Type I cent is a tough one although it's not tough as the type II. In general the 1886 Indian cent is one of those "sleeper dates" that don't get much press. You don't think much about them until you want one, and then you find out how hard it is to locate one.

    I like the coin, except for the spots. But then again it's an 1886. image

    The gold sticker coin looks like an AU59 to me....but I just dont see any wear. It just has a 'handled' look.
  • garrynotgarrynot Posts: 1,874 ✭✭✭

    I like all of them.

    A lot of copper coins get graded MS when they are AU. I call it market grading. It is what it is.

    Yea, but why does that coin rate the coveted gold sticker? I don’t see an MS-63, brown there. I see a slider that was lucky not to get a AU-58 or a MS-61.

    Nice little group, apart from some of the trivial issues pointed out.
    As usual BillJones is right on the money about the 1886 issues - though I don't know about the proofs, the biz strike
    issues in XF-AU are tough. When I finally located one of each for one of my customers some years ago, he decided they
    were too expensive. He still has VG's in those album slots, even though all the other dates around them are XF/AU.....

    86 is the best yet and would be hard to find better.
